Flats Fishing 11'

Borrowing a page from the Pyramid Lake playbook, this kayak angler totes a ladder out onto the flats in search of stripers on the fly.

The Blitz / A Year on the Road

This film chronicles a year on the road with Pete McDonald and Tosh Brown while they were shooting photos and gathering content for their new coffee table book, The Blitz, Fly Fishing The Atlantic Migration.

Disclaimer: this entire production was shot on a cheap-ass camcorder that fits in a shirt pocket. It ate about 50 pounds of AA batteries during this odyssey and died of saltwater sickness about two weeks after their last shoot.

Order a copy of The Blitz - $5 per copy is going select groups that are fighting to restore and sustain striped bass.

Let's Get It Started

Captain Bobby Rice of Reel Deal Fishing Charters captures some underwater footage of blitzing striped bass in the waters of Cape Cod. 

10 tons of illegally caught Stripers in Chesapeake Bay

This happened back in February.

The thieves employed submerged gill nets, which are approved for taking strippers, but only when properly tended, used on defined dates, and in compliance with catch limits. In this case, however, the poachers caught 20,000 pounds against a daily legal quota of 300 pounds!

The Weekend Sportfisherman has all the gory details along with photos.

WTF is up with the North Carolina DMF?
