FISHING REPORT: NOVEMBER 2009
Oh no! I think I see that rotund women walking up the stairs to the stage with the microphone on it. As the chorus clears their collective throats the announcer approaches the mic and readies to introduce the star of the show. Yes, the saltwater fishing season is coming to a close. [...]
Editors Note: It was brought to our attention that it’s pretty dumb to award a plug to someone who already has a great plug collection. Since there were NO submissions yet we’ve decided to change the rules a bit. . . So now this is how it works:
The Blind, Black, BM Danny goes to the [...]
Earl submitted some photos from another recent day aboard the Laura Jay. What “late” season tuna fishing may lack in comfort seems to be more than made up for in terms of agressive feeding fish. Add to that the opportunity to “sleep in” as it were (the nights are longer), and it becomes a little [...]
Craig C. from Van Staal recently stopped by and walked us through how to service a Van Staal drag. Drag kits should be out in the near future allowing you to rebuild your own drag. As you’ll see from the video, not too much to it but you WILL want to check and make sure [...]
I finally got to go on my first Tuna Trip a couple days ago. Video cannot begin to show the things I’ve seen. I think we’ve got to get clearance on bringing out the HD camera to really try to capture some of the madness. I have a few images deeply ingrained in my mind [...]

We had a little tournament awhile back. Each year we have some offseason events at the shop. Here’s one such event:
Knot Night 2009
Edge Angling Community Member Garret Meade recently contributed the following photos. These highlight some of the great angling to be had here in the North East. We especially like the photos of Garret’s son & daughter getting in on the action. Other highlights include a bluefish-blitz related snap failure, some beautiful albies, and someone who [...]
Introduction and Basic Equipment Primer
Anyone who’s ever visited Plum Island, MA (where I do the better part of my fishing) between May and October will agree, there are a lot of bait fishermen on the beaches. And by that I mean there are a lot of guys that fish bait for striped bass and bluefish, [...]
As Earl’s latest photos clearly show, there is no time like the present. Soon these days will just be memories to help us make it through the winter, so get out there and enjoy it while it lasts. As these pic’s attest those who are fortunate enough to encounter such activity need little more than [...]
