FLOAT 'N' FLY
False albacore have come to be synonymous with fall fishing for many anglers in the region tossing slim, heavy metals and flies like the Deceiver - but next time try this unique "float and fly" combination of spin and fly!
FALL RUN
It's time for sorting bags and boxes for the start of the fall run, which hopefully commences soon with the telltale v-wakes of finger mullet schools moving out along the beach and acres of peanut bunker tight getting crushed by stripers.
STORM SURF
From Hanna to Hermine, September nor’easters and tropical systems typically shake things up a bit on the striper front as they blow through the region.
SURF SPOTLIGHT
There’s no doubt that the thin light of twilight can be magical, a pastel time when the world is quiet and the relationship between predator and prey transitions from stealth of night to aggressive light of day pursuit.
Now Online
September is here which means it’s time to grab the 10’s and 11’s, check your jetty spikes, and pack the plug bags for the fall run. Bait is stacked and ready to move along the beach, and our special September “surf” edition of The Fisherman will help you get geared up to hit the ground running.
