New state records for Atlantic bonito and sheepshead have been confirmed by the NY Dept. of Environmental Conservation.

Coop's is a time-honored destination for many fly fishers and derby anglers visiting Martha's Vineyard.

After a couple failed attempts at chasing the blitzing bonito close to shore on Martha’s Vineyard, Chris Megan and I headed off to the Hooter, where light-tackle, high-speed trolling is the preferred tactic.

This misunderstood late-summer visitor brings fantastic light-tackle and fly-fishing action to the Northeast.

Thought that I would send in a picture of this bonito that I caught on Columbus Day out at Monomoy.

Late in the work day on Thursday August 17, just after putting the finishing touches on a great September issue and making live the Fishing Forecast, a call came down from the Captain’s chair.

It must have been the bonito reports showing up in my inbox while I was down at ICAST that had me searching the floor for something new I could throw at hardtails this fall.
