The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Fishing enthusiasts are in for a treat as the Virginia Flounder season hits its peak, with large fish over 24 inches being frequently caught. For those looking to capitalize on this season, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is a prime location. The best bait for Virginia Flounder includes finger mullet, which is a significant part of their diet along the East Coast. Anglers should consider using a Carolina rig to keep the bait low to the ground, mimicking the natural prey of the Flounder. Bring along extras, unfortunately if you’re not hanging up you might not be in a good spot.

Who doesn’t like bottom fishing to some degree? In the Northeast, it is arguably the most popular and approachable gateway to our sport. And there are so many ways to enjoy it—whether you prefer slow-pitch jigging scup and sea bass, swimming bucktails over sandy bottom for fluke, or dropping a couple clumps of clam to cod. The beauty of bottom fishing is it can be done almost anywhere, from back bay channels to offshore reefs, by boat or kayak. However, bottom fishing can also be unforgiving; it demands a lot from our gear and, at times, requires excessive amounts of terminal tackle, so we picked out some of the newest must-have bottom fishing gear from ICAST 2024.

Portsmouth, NH

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.
