Releasing more than 60 30-40" stipers

Well, we recently had an epic striper fishing excursion in Cape Cod. I went out with my buddy Rick and fished a local reef about 5 miles from the Osterville Cut. The seas were calm (unusual for Nantucket Sound) and the tide was right. We drifted through the rip line letting our sluggos and flies settle to the bottom. With a slight jigging action we literally hooked up everytime through! At the end of the day we had released over 60 bass -- most being keepers and most of those in the 30-40 inch range. We did keep our limit to enjoy on the "barbie" later. The next morning the kids were exhausted and Rick and I headed out to the same spot and started all over again. Four hours and approximately 30 fish later we'd had enough and high fived all the way home!

Next adventure is my long awaited Florida trip to Palm Beach to fish with Captain Scott Hamilton of Flyfishing Extremes.com. Scott specializes in flyfishing for the adrenalin inducing false albacore as well as all other species including skipjack, yellowfin, blackfin tuna, dolphin, tarpon, kingfish, etc. We may take a day and go to the Bahamas to fish the skipjack-yellowfin surface bite which could be sick considering the yellowfin are running to 50 pounds. I will fill everyone in when I return. Anyone interested in joining the Old Harbor Outfitters fishing team can contact Steve Termpini at stempini@oldharboroutfitters.com. The company has made a strong start and will be a premier fishing and outfitting company in the years to come. tight lines and screaming drags to all Glen
