I have fished for decades yet still burst with excitement at even a hint of a swirl or splash near me.

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.
New Year’s Cleanup Time means January is for donating your Christmas tree to Trout Unlimited and shopping with the Surfcasters at Surf Day. You can drop off your tree to help support the Wood River then the following week, shop for new and used fishing gear at the much-anticipated Surf Day. All the details are here.
The Narragansett Surfcasters are hosting a blood drive and a day fishing with veterans and would love to share a pint with you, so to speak. They are driven to be charitable and could use a few minutes of your time to share their drive. Learn more in this week’s Fish Wrap.
Narragansett Surfcaster’s Surf Day and Peter Jenkins’ Stock The Box Fly Tying Expo help us prepare for stripers, albies & full tackle boxes. Both fight off winter blues and build a sense of community with anglers new and experienced, young and old.
