Hopeful Signs for Better Fishing In RI

9/4/2012

I 'm guessing we have turned the corner on the worst summer fishing for stripers that many of us have ever seen on the mainland shore here in Rhode Island. I got out twice this weekend. Although I hate going down on these crowded holiday weekends, I had to move… SEE MORE

Sunday Morning at the Camden Windjammer Festival

9/4/2012

I have as much fun in the rain as I do in the sun when I'm shooting. This past Sunday was drizzly and overcast but that didn't deter me from taking my relatively new 100mm macro lens to see what I could capture at this year's Camden Windjammer Festival on… SEE MORE

Labor Day on Penobscot Bay

9/3/2012

For Maine boaters, Labor Day is always a special holiday, as it represents not, we hope, the end of the sailing season, but nonetheless a reminder that the days are getting shorter and we must make the most of every hour afloat that we can. I was lucky enough to… SEE MORE

For Keeper Bass and Blues, Block Island Is the Best Bet

9/2/2012

Nothing has really changed recently in terms of fishing in Rhode Island. As I write this the temperature hovers near 90 degrees and the water along the Bay and oceanfront is like bathwater. So, fishing for stripers and blues is less than ideal, and downright slow in most places. However,… SEE MORE

Enjoying Sweet Breezes on Swans Island

When I first travelled to Swans Island a few years back, I had the great fortune of discovering a truly stunning sand beach on the western side of the island. The beach and its surrounding shores, sitting under the splendid September sun at the end of a long and winding… SEE MORE
