Sliding my kayak into the pond, a moderately early arrival earned me first crack at a new day’s news. The pond was alight with news, gossip, warnings and whispers. A three mile per hour breeze carried news from an oyster catcher that my arrival near a small point with shallow water was the cause of some concern. She raised wings of alarm and moved along, although only to a salty maple branch some fifty feet north. Good soldiers keep steady eyes on visitors.
Surf Day New and Used Tackle Sale is arguably the most important fishing event of the winter. This year, the Narragansett Surfcasters promise more, more tackle, more tables, more rods, gear and accessries. With more room at the W.Warwick Civic Center, it's centrally located so please don't miss the fun.
I have fished for decades yet still burst with excitement at even a hint of a swirl or splash near me. Striper fishing through fall's twilight is a magic reminder of how special this season is for fishers and hunters. This week, read how to stalk and catch big bass in shallow water, armed with shooting stars and dark waters.
Each new spring offers opportunity and peaceful adventures for salt pond anglers. I return to a favorite secret striper cove, partially undiscovered, silently sublimely obvious, teeming with chances for whatever we call fishing success. Spring revives us, she unlatches her gate to a warm summer, so in this piece, we begin a new fishing year with hope tucked away in plain sight.
Charlie Lepre, The Wolf, has passed and left us with heavy hearts and happy memories. From First Rock to Block Island, he was a classic fisherman who never tired of casting through the night then working all day. So long Charlie, you will be missed.

Rosie and Dominic lead us down beaches, into kayaks and across fly tying tables. This week we celebrate young anglers and all they offer us. Somedays it feels like the world is burning so, let us introduce you to two remarkable young people who catch, laugh and share. We could all use a shot of their joy.
