Late last week, a few days of grease-calm conditions just before the storm allowed some New England anglers to successfully pursue white marlin south of Cape Cod and the Islands. The swell from Hurricane Ernesto put a brief hold on long runs to the canyons across the coast, but since the sea has settled, there’s been good fishing for golden tilefish, yellowfin and bigeye tuna, and even a few swordfish on the deep drop. Closer to home, late-summer patterns are in full effect with bluefin, mahi, bonito, false albacore, and Spanish mackerel all available within reasonable running distance from shore.

Offshore Fishing Report- August 23, 2024

Fishing inside the Bay has been on the slow side so we’ve opted to do some coastal rockfishing. This morning we were warmly greeted by hungry lingcod for 13 quick limits (26) up to 20 pounds. The rockfishing was tougher but we worked hard to bag 13 limits (230) of rockfish as well. Lots of space all week. Book your trips 24/7 online at TigerFishSportfishing.com or KingFish-SF.com.

Matt at Black Hall Outfitters in Westbrook told me that the local fishing has remained pretty similar to last week, with the exception of some big numbers of small bait moving in and instigating some big schoolie bass blitzes. Bigger bass can be caught as well, but morning and evening, along with after dark is your best bet. The usual suspects, such as GT eels and other big soft plastics, live eels/bunker, large topwaters, and trolling tubes have been the top producers. There are some nice gator bluefish around as well, but they are scattered, with the better reports coming from the west and from Plum Gut. Snapper bluefish have invaded the Sound and can be found chewing on those concentrations of small bait. Keeper sea bass have been more prevalent in 80 feet of water or more, where they’re being caught on Daiwa SK Jigs. Fluke are starting to transition to deeper water, and with that, some nice fish are hitting the scales. Scup fishing has been as steady as ever, while summer tautog anglers are starting to report better results.

Do bass eat alligators? No... not really.

Do alligators eat bass? Yeah.

So on its face, you would never would have guessed that an alligator lure could catch fish, but you'd be wrong. But as soon as you understand how bass feed, it all makes sense. It’s an only the strong survive world out there, and everything has to eat. Largemouth bass are no different. They are both predators and prey, and their only hope of survival is to eat the next thing that comes their way.

Largemouth are a common sport fish and are often plentiful where they live. They average around...

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...

I’ve tested an awful lot of boating gear through the years, and sometimes the best boat mod you make turns out to be something you didn’t expect to even like. Case in point: The Scanstrut Rokk Edge 10. It sells for under $150, takes all of 20 minutes to install, and once you have one on your boat you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.

Best Fishing Boat Mod Ever!

When you think about beautiful, crisp Alaskan landscapes, you might also picture the bustling activity of the Bering Sea – a hub for seafood like snow crabs. But what if the landscape is changing, and not just visually? In the last few years, billions of crabs disappeared from the Bering Sea and the event has alarmed both fishermen and scientists alike.

While cruising the Mobile-Tensaw Delta one day, a friend and I came across a strange sight. A solitary gentleman was bass fishing from the deck of a pontoon boat. “See, that’s the way to do it,” my buddy chuckled as we drove by. “You can’t lose. If I see a guy fishing from a pontoon boat and he’s not catching anything, I think, ‘Well, he’s playing with a handicap.’ I don’t judge him the same way I judge a man getting skunked in a decked-out glitter rocket. But if I see him catching fish, it’s ‘Heck yeah! That dude’s killing them–from a pontoon boat!’ That’s the kind of guy you want to have a beer with, you know? He’s living life.”

Heather Strout Thompson has been hauling lobster since traps were wooden. Here are her top lobster rolls in her home state of Maine, from Chipman's Wharf to Luke's Lobster.
