Summer is coming and probably quicker than most people think. It can be hard to believe but starting to get the boat and fishing gear ready for the season ahead is probably a timely activity. The move to daylight saving time this weekend brings abou...

It is safe to say that no sports angler did any fishing here this past week and the coming weekend doesn’t look promising either. A few of the commercial operators have managed to work their lobster gear but the offshore has simply been unworkable. W...

Winter, the way it should be. None of these calm, sunny warm days nonsense; the real old-fashioned sequence of a few hours of clam, followed by winds increasing to gale force, the passage of cold fronts and bands of chilly rain. Although these make ...
