Missing it all in Maine

Missing it all in Maine

by Todd Corayer | Jul 7, 2016 | Fish Wrap Ponderings, Fluke Fishing, Fresh Water Fishing, Largemouth Bass Fishing

Maybe I missed it all back home, but in the woods of Maine, for a week, I watched life fast forward. From a canoe and over a coffee, we met new, good people, caught fish and watched as a young child grew to become a young man. Maybe I didn’t miss anything at all.

by Todd Corayer | Jun 17, 2016 | Fluke Fishing, Striped Bass Fishing

There are big fish all around us. Up North, where Narragansett Bay becomes the Providence River, menhaden are filling coves and the bass know it. The best tip right now is to liveline a few snagged pogies and work the schools. It can be a crowded place, especially...
