The day turned out incredible with twenty plus flags and over a dozen largemouth bass with two nice perch. My daughter Lily caught plenty, with my son Eric catching the big boy of the day of over 3 1/2 pounds. At lunch I call my wife Tasha and she brought lunch with my youngest daughter Ava. Sure happy I took the time to go fishing with my kids today. We all need to take breaks to remember what life is all about.

This is my Falmouth-based boat that takes hundreds of people out annually. I also attended my first fishing show in New Hampshire this week end and had a very positive response on fishing charter bookings for this coming season. I decided to post a picture of some happy anglers that travelled from the granite state and had a fantastic striper trip last spring. Give me a call and let’s get you on the calendar!

Theses anglers called last week and asked how the tuna fishing was I told them that we might get one or two so I suggested bass instead seeing that on the previous tuna trips everyone reeled in two they were glad they went bass fishing with everyone reeling in over 5 fish each.

Don’t miss the late summer and early fall striped bass fishing blitz! That’s when the really big striped bass are around and really hungry as they start working their way south. I can take you, your family, or your buddies on a great, four-hour or all day trip out of Falmouth Harbor, which is not a long drive from just about anywhere in New England. So give me a call and let’s go fishing! You’ll have a lot of fun and get some delicious striper fillets too.
