Globetrotting fly fisherman and photographer Pat Ford has never lost his thirst for adventure

Globetrotting fly fisherman and photographer Pat Ford has never lost his thirst for adventure

The bone-weariness of chasing fish deep into fall and other late-season observations from the quiet stretches of a striper beach.

Block Island has been a mecca for huge striped bass with many stripers between 50 and 70 pounds landed here.

Striped bass love an eel, a misunderstood species that is under increasing pressure.

Eel man Ray Turner became known for catching eels using a stone-and-wood weir and running a small smoke house

A champion distance caster, Ron Arra became known for being able to cast clear across the Cape Cod Canal

Known for her traditional skin-mount taxidermy, Janet Messineo cracked the code and became a member of the male-dominated Martha’s Vineyard striper tribe

Work-life balance goes right out the window when a flood of striped bass arrives.

Pursuing striped bass with rod and reel is a tradition dating back more than 175 years.

With the striper migration gaining steam, it’s the time of year to talk less and fish more.
