Sand Tiger Shark

Shark Caught 30 Miles from Atlantic

To catch a shark off the coast of Maine is not so uncommon. To catch one 30 miles up a tidal river? That’s a different story. Angler David Fischer was fishing with Capt. Dean Krah, using live mackerel on 50-pound test in 18 feet of water. That’s when he set the hook on a heavy fish.

Striped Marlin

Record Striped Marlin Landed in 1 Minute

“The fish came up on the right short teaser,” angler Saundra McMurray said. “I picked up the rod and pitched back the bait, a circle-hook-rigged mackerel. The marlin hit the bait once and let go. He came back, hit the bait again.” She let the fish run, then put the reel into gear.

Dual Console Fishing Boat

Is a Dual Console Really a Fishing Boat?

Builders designing dual-console boats have been adding serious fishing features that blur the line between a multi-use family boat and legit fishing vessel. If you can set your prejudices aside, there are some valid reasons for dedicated anglers to choose a dual-console boat.

Fishing Line Tangles

How to Prevent Fishing Line Tangles

Few things in fishing are more aggravating than a cast shortened or abruptly halted by line twist, line tangles or a wind knot. Imagine positioning perfectly next to that sought-after trophy and then bird-nesting. That’s enough to ruin any angler’s day.

Winter Fishing

Best Winter Fishing Destinations

As colder temperatures sweep across much of the country, many anglers stow away their tackle until next spring. But a few places, blessed with mild weather and fertile waters, continue to offer hot action when the fishing elsewhere comes to a screeching halt.
