So I go fishing tonight. I work my way around a few spots at the last one I get a hit on the first cast. Second cast, hit in the same spot. Third cast I hook and land a 10 lb bass. I casted all around that area for the next hour or more and not a bump. So it begs the question- was there only one fish there and it was really hungry or were there others that were either spooked when I hooked the first or just had lockjaw? I will say that the water was ...
I have caught a couple of schoolies this year, mostly goofing off. About to get down to more serious business. It's nice that we have an early season this go around. Not really a lot new his year gear wise. I haven't seen a lot of new plugs that interest me. Last year I fished bucktails a ton. I'll post a few interesting ones I have picked up. I'll be targeting larger fish this year. That is my mission. As for new spots- the canal ...
April 20, 1956- Apparently my great grandfather (Aubrey Wornham) was showing "moving pictures" of striped bass fishing on the Cape for the local folks.

Literally sometimes. I took two hard falls this past season. One was early in the season out at Sachuest. I was tired and tripped over a rock wading. Fell and all my weight came down on a (barely) submerged rock, right on the shin. Took a strip of flesh probably 4 inches long and deep, in addition to destroying another set of waders. 50* salt water in gushing into that wound doesn't feel swell. I'll have that scar to remind me for life. Second was on the Vineyard, I wasn't ...
I know it might sound crazy, but winter is the time I'm able to work on new projects and "catch up" on a lot of software updates and such for the business. This winter is starting to have a really good "feel" to it as well. Lot's of work getting done. Some behind the scenes changes that should start to pay off for our clients. A quick list of some of the highlights. - new one page checkout implemented - lots and lots and lots of sql development ...
