Love the new format, and update map! Keep up the good work OTW!!
Tight-lines,
Walleye.
Thanks Walleye!
Love the new updated site on fishing reports. Thanks.
OTW — this is great! I’m new to the region, if light lines for state borders were there I think it’d help my learning curve. Might help others too?
Caught a nice size schoolie last night in the Boston Harbor general area which I owe to these updates. Great magazine, happy subscriber.
down on the cape for the evening, best bets? any word on catches in the canal or best place to go on the canal? never fished down this way.
Hi I was wondering if the stripers are in the Holyoke area of the Connecticut river thanks and love the new set up
Are they at the merrimac river in Mass?
I’ve heard there are stripers in the Merrimack River. Friends are catching them below the dam in Lawrence. Nothing but schoolies so far.
I don’t think so!!! I went to to ct and caught just about 25 schoolies 12 keeps from 28-38 and about 12 1/4 -22 1/2lbs all none left overs very fresh clean good taste I was on a pier, it was a 3 week long adventure but lmty it was worth the 2:09:00 ride good luck to all this season and enjoy! The best is yet to come…..
When are the strippers going to get to Nova Scotia
Haven’t Gone Saltwater Yet This Season But I’m Chomping At The Bit. Anyone Been Out To Boston Harbor/Black Falcon Pier Yet?
