ater temperatures are falling. King mackerel are on the move. Wherever they roam, fall is the time to catch kingfish during their annual migration south. In the Atlantic, from the Carolinas south along the Florida coast, kings are following bait to warmer waters. The same thing is going on in the Gulf of Mexico. Kingfish that summered in the northern Gulf are splitting up. Some head west down the Texas coast. Others move east along the Panhandle and down the west coast of Florida. Wherever you fish, the next few months offer the opportunity to connect with the movements of these mercury missiles as they mingle with resident populations. The prospect for drag-burning runs is out there for anglers who pay close attention to water temperatures and stay on the move until they find the fish. King mackerel are as temperature driven as any fish in the sea. When they’re marauding baitfish, they can be found close to shore on the beaches, passes and jetties, where even shore-bound anglers have a shot at them. But most of the larger kingfish hunt over nearshore reefs in 30- to 60-feet or deeper. Deep or shallow, they’ll seek out 68- to 73-degree temperatures where they are comfortable. Watch the water temperature charts, and fish by them. Find the right temperature and an abundance of baitfish, and putting out a spread of baits will tell you quickly if there are kingfish around. Live bait is always the best bet, especially for big smokers. The best bait will depend on where you fish and what baitfish are most prevalent. Pogies (menhaden), hardtails (blue runners), pilchards and threadfin herring are all good baits if they are present. The fall mullet runs offer an abundance of good bait. A lot of tournament and charter boats put a Spanish mackerel in a spread looking for a big bite. Most importantly, baitfish should be fresh. Catch the bait that is available with Sabikis or cast nets, keep it well-oxygenated and switch them frequently. Most kingfish rigs will use a mainline of 20- to 30-pound monofilament. Obviously, with those teeth, a wire leader is essential. You should go as heavy as the fish will let you get away with—depending on water clarity—but it must remain light enough for the bait to swim. A 24-inch, single-strand wire leader of 40-pound test is a starting point. Go lighter in clear water or with smaller baits; go heavier in dirty water or if you’re fishing big baits for big fish. Leaders can be made longer for security. Hooks should be matched to the size of the bait, and it’s wise to add a stinger hook on large baits. Whether anchored, drifting or slow-trolling, a fresh chum slick is a good idea. If a king doesn’t hit within 15 or 20 minutes, pick up and go find some that are biting. They shouldn’t be hard to find this time of year.

By Greg Hatten etails are important when fly fishing for steelhead and running a wood boat through the rocky rivers of the Pacific Northwest. It’s the details I obsess about – the knots, the leaders, the water temperature, the boulders that might hold fish or punch a hole in a wood boat. I am “Obsessed by Details” or OBD. Every piece of gear I carry must pass the OBD test. When I put sunglasses under my microscope, Popticals are my choice. It’s the only brand that provides superior visual performance and a portable design that can be easily packed anywhere to protect the lenses. Eyewear must cut through the glare and provide clarity to see tiny details like the color of insects hatching, the subtle rise of trout, or the faint underwater shadow of a holding steelhead. Popticals offer a level of detail head and shoulders above other glasses. When I row, eyewear must give me clarity to see “the safe line” through rocky sections of river as well as in the distance when I am judging obstacles downriver. Popticals are the sunglasses I trust with my boat on the line. My sunglasses must also provide superior protection from sharp hooks flying through the air. The Popticals I wear have a great side guard that provides outstanding protection. Popticals are the perfect combination of performance and protection with the bonus feature of folding down so small they fit in the palm of my hand. Greg Hatten is a professional fly fishing guide and wood boat builder. Check out Popticals at popticals.com.

The Blow is Over!
A
s I write this Hurricane Florence is bearing down on the coast as a CAT 4 and we are moving boats and battening down the hatches! Hopefully by the time you’re reading this you’re all good, the mess is cleaned up, the skies are clear and the fishing is great! I’ve always found that the weeks after a big storm that once the seas settle down fishing breaks wide open. As the water cools the Spanish and Blues are probably gone, but in their place are those big reds! For those Yankees like myself that complain that you miss the Big Cow Stripers in October up north, you really don’t need to, because we have the southern version, Bull Reds and they don’t call them Bulls for nothing as they pull as hard as any Striper I’ve caught.
I’m not going to get into the how to or where, you can read both articles in this issue, from our great writers Jiggin Jerry and Cefus who talk about these great game fish! What I’d like to touch on is a touchy topic! We will call it the proper release, rules and regs! I come from the days when you could not catch a Striper up north. That was until the Government stepped in and saved these great fish. Sure we complained as you could not keep even one fish for the table for years, but with that said, because of those rules and regulations that we all suffered through it became one of the greatest success stories of saving a game fish ever! That success lead to 100 plus Striper days and the rebound of a resource that will be there for our great grandkids!
OUR BOATS FISH THE WHOLE GRAND STRAND! LITTLE RIVER, MURRELLS INLET, GEORGETOWN & WINYAH BAY
So please don’t complain as they tighten the regulations. I mean let’s face it, why keep a red in the first place when there’s so many other great tasting fish in the ocean. In my humble opinion Reds are really not up there with Flounder! “Take the Kids Fishing�

KYLE’S KORNER
BY KYLE MASIERO
EAT WHAT YOU KILL!!!
S
o the summer has come and gone, the weather is starting to cool, and the fishing is getting better and better. Before I start, I’m not a tree hugger, vegan who thinks we shouldn’t fish or hunt or kill anything, I have already stated in the past no problem with pulling big fish out of the water and taking a picture, but in this article, I’m going to touch on something that bothers me all the time. I’m all for catch and release, to be honest we release a lot more fish then we keep, but occasionally on the social media world I see a picture of someone with coolers and coolers filled with fish and I’m thinking ok so you’re going to eat all that right? Now I’m not saying that everyone is wasting fish, but I live by a rule that if I’m gonna kill it I’m gonna eat it! I’ve been guilty in the past and I’m sure we all have of just keeping one too many fish and you throw it in the freezer, 6 months goes by and you
end up throwing it out. Some fish freeze well and can last months and months, so that’s fine, again if you’re going to eat it eventually. To pile up fish after fish just for a photo shoot is ridiculous. I saw a recent post of a guy releasing keeper Flounder and he said something along the lines that “yes he releases keeper Flounder when he has enough to eat” and to me that’s awesome. As small Charter fishermen or Recreational fishermen we have a responsibility to not wipe out a fish population. We want to pass on a legacy to our children to protect our waters and treat them with respect and thank God for what he has given us the opportunity to do. We all talk about fish size regulations, catch quotas and so on, and I agree some of these laws and rules are ridiculous but at the same time we should be able to know how much we need whether it’s a keeper or not. I won’t get into Commercial fishing
too much because it’s a different world, in my opinion all this mass commercial fishing should be better regulated. We do a little commercial fishing but rod and reel only. My problem with long lines and bandits and huge nets is the bi-catch situation. I know firsthand what gets killed on these lines and nets and it’s not good, it’s not ok for shark after shark to sit dead on a long line just to be cut free, they go out for one species and everything else is tossed back. Not saying commercial fishing should be outlawed but the regulations have to be adjusted in a way that the commercial fishermen are not put in a situation that they have to needlessly throwback fish that will not live anyway. The biggest problem is “it’s not all about the money but, it’s ALL ABOUT THE MONEY”. What I mean is it seems as if the law makers go on the attack with license after license and rule after rule for Charters and Recreational fishermen but somehow since Commercial fishing brings in so much money they turn a blind eye to certain things. By all means make a living, feed your family, but try to at least sustain our fishery for future generations. Well I’m sure I offended a few
people out there with this one , but As always, I wish you calm winds, tight lines and following seas.
With love and respect. Capt. Kyle Masiero

CONWAY
A HISTORIC RIVERTOWN
On The River with Matt Varnadore The Waccamaw River offers a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and fun for a lot of people. We are all familiar with fishing, boating, skiing, hunting and swimming, but did you know there was another not so popular activity along the river? SCUBA Diving! Who would have thought SCUBA diving along the Waccamaw River would be something people would be interested in? I for one would be a little intimidated by the black water, but there are others not so intimidated. I have used goggles before while swimming and you cannot see anything. Well for some SCUBA diving the river is another recreational activity that is enjoyed. From time to time you will see a few guys in a small aluminum boat anchored in areas along the river with a Diver Down flag attached to their boat and bubbles coming up from beneath the murky waters. For years I passed these guys by and often wondered "what on earth are they looking for?" I happened to catch them one day preparing for a dive and I stopped and asked them just that question. They told me they were looking for artifacts such as arrow heads, old bottles and sharks’ teeth. Sharks teeth? On the river? To be sure they are "pulling my leg" (joking with me for those who are not familiar with the term). I wished them luck and drove away wondering what all they actually find. One afternoon this year my son saw the divers diving just off of River Front Park in Conway, so he decided to sit and watch. When they surfaced he too asked the question "what are you looking for?" (like father like son). They again told him the same as they told me, but this time they proved it by handing him a handful of sharks’ teeth they just found for him to keep. He was so excited and ran back to the Outfitter to tells us what they did. I for one was extremely impressed with the find and never knew that you could find such treasures. I am all the time encouraging people to come visit and explore our river because it is such a beautiful place.

Capt. Cefus McRae
s the dog days of summer give way to the crisp, cool mornings and spectacular sunsets of fall, I begin to see red. Redfish, that is. Fall is one of my favorite times for targeting redfish. Not only because the weather is a lot more pleasant, but because I feel like the fish are just friskier. Also, both the numbers of fish and the sizes seem to be better. And depending on your locale, the big bull reds will be moving along the beaches and up the rivers. It is truly a cornucopia of piscatorial pulchritude. Redfish are one of those species that will eat just about any lure or bait. I can’t even begin to count the number of reds I’ve unintentionally caught while fishing for speckled trout or flounder. Why? Because they love to hang out in those same locations, and they love to eat shrimp, mud minnows, pogies, pinfish, fiddler crabs and strip baits too. And, they’ll aggressively take a soft plastic, a swimbait, a spoon or a topwater plug. And on top of that, they will take a well-placed fly. This is one versatile fish that can please just about any angler. One of my favorite rigs for slots reds is the tried-and-true popping cork rig. It’s simple, it’s old school, and it’s super effective. The key is determining the distance of leader to use between the cork and the hook. For me, I
want the bait to just be bouncing off the bottom. Too much leader and you’ll hang up a lot. Too little and your bait will be floating above their heads. Remember, a redfish is one of a very few fish that feeds ‘down’. Most other gamefish feed ‘up’. So, you’ve got to have your bait in the strike zone to maximize your chances for a hook-up. A live shrimp, a pinfish (or a pinfish tail), a fiddler crab, or a soft plastic like a Project-X Saucertail will all work to entice a strike. One common mistake with popping cork rigs is being impatient. Cast the rig. Then let the cork right itself. And then wait for at least a 10-count until you do anything. This gives the bait a chance to get to the bottom and in the zone. Then make a couple pops of the cork, retrieve the slack, and let it sit again. When the cork moves, set the hook! By the way, if the current is ripping…and you want to be fishing some current…you can add a small split shot a few inches above the hook to help it get down and stay down. Understanding that reds typically feed ‘down’ somewhat contradicts the thought of fishing with a topwater plug or swimbait. But this can be some of the most exciting fishing around. Reds will absolutely explode on a walking-the-dog plug like a Zara Spook or a Mirrolure Top Dog. It must be a reaction strike, but
whatever it is…it’s awesome. And talk about power. Pound for pound, a redfish has the strength to peel drag over just about any other fish its size, and quite honestly a lot more pull-power than most others. Get a bull red on the line, and you better have eaten your Wheaties that morning. And yep, there’s still another attribute that make these feisty foes a treat to catch. They’re darn good on the table. We’ve got some great redfish recipes on the website at NutsAndBoltsFishing.com, so give them a try.

PIER/SURF/FRESHWATER
Inshore the Redfish bite is strong look for this to continue throughout the fall using Mullet or live shrimp on a Carolina Rig is your best bet. Flounder are still being caught but this will slow with the water temps dropping. The Jetties will be holding Black Drum as well using dead shrimp or squid is the best option for these guys. Offshore is all about the Wahoo this time of year look for the monsters to be around on the Troll. The offshore bottom fishing will remain steady through the fall.
Reports of the Sea Trout starting to hit well, fall is big trout season with fish being caught in both Murrells Inlet and Georgetown try using a live shrimp or gulp on a popping cork. You will also have success with MiroLures and DOA shrimp. Redfish will be abundant this time of year and using live shrimp will be the go to option, but they will also feed on Mullet. Offshore like much of the Carolinas will be all about big Wahoo but you will still have plenty of black fin Tuna in the mix.
It’s Spot season and look for the crowds to show up on most of the piers up and down the Grand Strand. Using double dropper rigs with No5 long shank hooks is the way to get these guys. The best bait by far is pieces of blood worms but this will also feed on Gulp worms and even Night Crawlers.

RED DRUM BY JIGGIN JERRY
Red Drum, also known as Redfish or Spottail Bass here in the Lowcountry, is an inshore fish that is well known for its fighting power. Some say that it is like catching a freshwater Largemouth Bass on steroids. I would say it’s more like if a Largemouth Bass could turn into its version of an Incredible Hulk, it would be the Red Drum. September through October is a perfect time to target this species of fish in the South Carolina Lowcountry, but don’t get me wrong, this fish is great fishing three-quarters of the year. But, from September through October, the Red Drum are on the move. They will start gathering up in small and large schools, and by October, you will find large Red Drum exceeding 40 inches moving along our beaches. This all has to do with their breeding and spawning habits. Anglers from all over the country, and even some from out of the country, take vacations just to have the opportunity to tangle with one of these fantastic fish. These fish are considered a slot fish here in coastal South Carolina. You are able to keep a Red Drum for consumption from 15 inches to 23 inches, and as of 2018, you can only have two of these in your possession per day. These fish can be targeted by using artificials, live bait, cut bait or even frozen bait. Red Drum like to target Finger Mullet, Pin Fish, Croaker, Perch, Glass Minnows, Mud Minnows, Fiddler Crab, Blue Crab and Shrimp. So, what will be the bait of choice as we move through September into October? I personally like to use Finger Mullet, live or freshly cut, Pin Fish, live or freshly cut, and Mud Minnows, just live. Live Shrimp can be used or frozen Shrimp with success, but keep in mind, everything loves Shrimp, which makes it a lot harder to keep your bait on the hook when even the small fish are chewing it up. Of course, the rig I would recommend for the Red Drum is a Carolina rig or drop shot rig. A lot of anglers will prefer to use circle hooks for these fish. I personally use Kahle hooks, but for anglers that do not have much experience in timing and setting the hook during a strike or do not have a great deal of success removing the hook from the inner mouth of one of these fish, a circle hook between 1/0 and 3/0 would be the better choice. The circle hook is designed to slide forward out of the fish’s mouth. As the fish retreats, the hook turns and catches the fish in the side of its mouth, making it easier for the hook to be removed and safer for the fish’s release. The size of your Carolina rig will vary depending on the location where you are fishing, whether strong currents in the surf or calmer waters in the creeks. Heavier or lighter weights will be your option. I have often been asked when do you know which bait to use? The first thing to remember is which bait can you get ahold of? Not all the bait mentioned above is easily accessible,
and sometimes you find yourself settling for what can be found. The other thing to keep in mind is how the Red Drum feed. Red Drum have the best of both worlds. They not only feed like a fast water game fish, but they also are scavengers like Catfish, and in the darkest of waters can detect dead fish and crustaceans and have a keen scent for fresh blood. Reading your environment and water conditions where you are targeting Red Drum can help you be successful hooking up with one of these fish. For example, if it is a cloudy day and the water conditions around you at the time are very muddy, I would not recommend using Mud Minnows. Mud Minnows are a dark little fish and cannot be easily seen without the help of clearer water conditions and sunlight. In conditions like this, I would recommend fresh cut bait like fresh caught Pin Fish or Mullet, cut into chunks. This will help the fish detect your bait quicker and more effectively. If the conditions are clear water and sunny, live Mullet or Pin Fish would be perfect in these conditions, and you can also use Mud Minnows. The Red Drum will be feeding by sight in these conditions, and the sun beaming through the clearer water will reflect off of a shiny Mullet or Pin Fish easily, making them quite noticeable. These conditions will also make it easier for the angler to sight fish a Red Drum, which means the angler can see the Red Drum swimming around hunting for its prey. This makes a great time to use artificials, casting in the vicinity of the fish. Just remember do not cast on the fish! This will scare the fish immediately and cause them to scatter and flee. And, for those of us fishing in a location where there is water during a high tide over Oyster beds, a Carolina rig would not be the best choice. It would most likely get hung up and you would lose your rig. In these cases, a popping cork would be the way to go. Just remember to set the length of line from the cork to your hook the correct depth so that your bait resides at least 8 inches over the Oyster bed itself. When using live bait or fishing in a current, the live bait will swim out on an angle while you’re using the cork technique, which will make the effect useless, so I recommend putting a quarter ounce split shot just above your live bait around 6 inches. This will not add too much weight that it will sink your cork but will keep your live bait down low above the structure where you intended it to be, and hopefully, in front of that big, beautiful Red Drum. Well, I hope this helps everyone have a great Red Fish season this Fall! To view some fishing adventures, go to my “Fishing with Jiggin Jerry” Channel on YouTube or go to jigginjerry. net.

Yak Corner BY TODD METZ
YAK NATION – BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT!!!
H
ello again fellow kayak fisherman. As I set here in the sweltering heat of late August and write this article, I can’t help to look forward to the cooler waters of fall. With the cooler waters will come an increase in the bite in the inlets and creeks but for now, fishing has been tuff. Even your most seasoned salt anglers and guides must work hard to find fish. Not to mention, the over abundance of bait in the water gives the fish a buffet of natural foods. Why have take out, when they can have steak!! With fishing being somewhat slower, I thought I would take a moment to share with you some great resources to help you become better kayak fisherman as well as meeting some great folks. I am sure some of them are even reading this article as we speak. As with most, I dive into the social media realm from time to time. Facebook has become a place for people to share moments, interest and thoughts with anyone. Numerous groups have formed over the years. I recently started
thinking about starting a Facebook group here along the Grand Strand just for kayak anglers. As I was contemplating my next move, a quick search on Facebook landed me into a few groups worth mentioning that already exist including one for the Grand Strand. These groups are well established kayak fishing groups. Therefore, why not join these groups instead of adding another competing group. Afterall, once we join one group, we join another and another and so on. Before long, you start to see that everyone has the same passion you do. Although, I have only been a part of these groups for a short time, they have welcomed me with open arms and a wealth of information. I just cannot believe the amount of people dedicated to this sport. The first group I encountered was the Pee Dee Kayak Anglers. I had a chance to meet the administrator a few weeks ago. You could just see the passion he had for kayaking and fishing. He created the group to

connect local kayak anglers of all skill levels throughout the PeeDee Region in South Carolina. The Grand Strand Kayak Anglers Association is another group locally that promotes kayak fishing and is loaded with tips and events. Moving farther south is the Lowcountry Kayak Anglers in Charleston, SC. This group is over 1800 members and is growing by the day. They, as the others, are there to promote the sport and to help others become passionate about kayak fishing. There are other groups as well, such as the Chucktown Kayak bassin’ group and the Upstate Kayak Fishing Club and the list goes on. There are numerous groups just across the border into North Carolina as well. All these groups hold special events, tournaments, meet and greets and clean-ups. Some even do benefit tournaments for wounded warriors and cancer awareness. My plan is to start to showcase these groups even more in my articles and to have some one-on- one interviews with some of their members. Who knows, it might even be you if you choose to join one of these groups. I assure you, I would not waste my keystrokes if I didn’t

feel that these groups were a great asset to the kayak fishing community. Without a doubt, in the short time I have been taking with these guys and gals online, there will be many more fishing trips and new friends to be made. So, the next time you are setting on you Kayak for 8 hours as I did the other day to only catch a few fish, you may want to turn to one of these groups for some insight or just to share your passion. Until next time, remember to keep those paddles wet and fish on!

hile the majority of anglers prowl the waters off Franklin County, Fla. using spinning and casting gear with live bait or artificial lures, fly fishermen here are quietly stalking their prey with consistently outstanding results. There’s not likely any species of fish here (and there are MANY) that won’t fall for a fly. Tarpon, for example, can be had on a variety of presentations, but the fly is far and away the most productive approach to getting bites. When chasing big schools of them in the clear Gulf water, you can forget about big jigs or other clunky lures. The tantalizing subtleness a fly offers can, at times, be the only thing that triggers a feeding response. This same concept can hold true with many other fish. As we approach fall, redfish, Spanish mackerel, bonito and drag-ripping jack crevalle are just a few of the species that fly fishers can expect to see all the way through December.
Chris Robinson, of Robinson Brother’s Guide Service in Apalachicola, has been putting clients on the fly bite for many years and is your go-to guy for everything fly. He said that when the north winds blow, look for bait balls close to shore in the Gulf waters; birds will usually point them out for you. There, you’ll find Spanish mackerel, bonito and jack crevalle. A small baitfish-imitating fly works best here. In the bays, redfish, trout, flounder and jack crevalle are the primary targets. These marshy waters are abundant with forage. All those species are sure to eat a shrimp-imitating fly. Most species can be had using an 8- or 9-weight rod, but when targeting the jacks, Chris suggests you step up to an 11-weight. These critters are flat out savages and will test the mettle of fishermen and their equipment. Some can top the 20-pound class, and that’s a fight you’ll never forget! Chris claims the best place to learn how to fly fish is on the water. He’s always eager to teach folks all they need to know about this artistic form of angling. So don’t feel intimidated if you have no experience. His skiff is loaded with all the latest quality equipment anyone could need. Hiring a guide like Chris is highly encouraged for several reasons: you don’t have to travel with gear, you don’t have to guess about flies and other tackle, and you get to put wear and tear on his equipment, not yours. If you do choose to haul your boat here, this place is user friendly with plenty of launch sites, outfitters and friendly locals with lots of fish tales to share.

oling mangrove edges and flats in search of tailing and belly crawling reds is as much hunting as it is fishing. When the target is sighted and it’s time to take a shot with an 8-weight fly rod, your aim better be on target. Gillz pro staffer Noah Miller, of Melbourne, Fla., has spent the on-the-water hours it takes to consistently take reds on the fly. He’s one of those anglers who knows there are still plenty of fish in the famous inshore waters around Titusville. The Indian River, Banana River and Mosquito Lagoon might be facing water quality challenges, but the fishing remains good. Right now, during the fall mullet run and lasting into February is prime time on Florida’s east coast.
“There’s lots of forage, and the fish are happy,” Miller said of current conditions. “They’re very opportunistic this time of year and will eat almost any fly, as long as it is presented correctly.” The redfish display a lot of schooling activity in preparation for a late fall spawn. These fish are resident to their respective waters and remain there through the seasons, even during the spawn. They can be encountered in large schools of 100 fish or more, and finding them is the key to catching them. “Put in the time on the pushpole,” Miller coached. “These fish do move, but they might only be 200 yards away from where they were yesterday. If things look right and you think there should be fish around, don’t leave an area until you’re certain they’re not there.” If the fish are not visible, it is tough to catch them on a fly. With conventional gear, an angler can make long searching casts to cover water for fish that are not showing themselves. With a fly rod, you’re better off holding the fly on the deck until you spot a fish. Seeing the fish and which way it is headed allows for presentation of the fly. You want it to plop down in front of the fish and close, but not too close. “About 40 feet is the cast I like to make,” said Miller. “You’ll be able to tell if he’s seen it and is interested right away… as soon as the fly hits the water. Then you want to start stripping it away from the fish to make it look like a fleeing crab, shrimp or whatever fly you’re fishing.” Miller caught the redfish on the cover of this month’s editions of Coastal Angler Magazine in stained water with a Seaducer pattern that had purple and black hackle feathers for a tail, a black EP Fiber head and bead chain eyes. That fly worked for the 26-incher on the cover, but this time of year presentation is much more important than fly selection. Noah Miller is a Gillz (gillz-gear.com) pro-staffer and is co-owner of Florida Fly Co., which provides the things fly rodders need to fish Florida’s waters.

It’s known locally as “The End,” and it’s marketed as “The Fishing Capital of the World!” It can back up both claims. “This is an awesome place for fly- and light-tackle fall thrills says charter skipper Paul Dixon of To the Point Charters (516-314-1185; www.flyfishingmontauk.com). “During October, the inshore action with speedy false albacore, stripers and monster bluefish absolutely sizzles.” Dixon has been fishing Montauk waters for 25 years, loading customers aboard his Contender Tournament 25 and working anywhere from the shadow of Montauk’s iconic lighthouse at the tip of the South Fork to Orient Point at the eastern terminus of Long Island’s North Fork. In the winter months, he charters out of Key Largo to fish the Everglades and Florida Keys. “It’s in the rips and coves at Montauk that the fall mayhem really

comes together,” said Dixon, who loves targeting albies with fly rod in hand. Through September, you’ll find pods of Fat Alberts scattered across Long Island’s East End, but once the rainbait exits the bays, Montauk explodes with fish.” According to Dixon, at the height of the run so many bay anchovies stack up in the rips surrounding Montauk Point that the water actually appears brown with the immense schools. “At that point,” said the skipper, “the albies feed in two ways. They’ll cruise through the densest baitfish schools in tight packs, turning on their sides with their mouths open and simply strain anchovies as they move along. They are tough to hook under those conditions since they aren’t singling out specific targets. Wait a little while though, and they’ll begin to bust up the baitfish schools. That’s when the fishing absolutely breaks loose and every cast has the potential to connect.” While light-tackle fans can hook-up using small tins like a Deadly Dick or a white 1-oz. Panther Martin Big Fin swimbait, Dixon prefers the long wand when sea conditions allow. “These fish hit hard and run fast, so go with the best fly fishing gear you can afford,” he suggested. “I use Cortland Compact floating/intermediate lines, Rise fly rods and Tibor reels. For patterns, 2- to 3-inch Epoxy Minnows get the job done most of the time.” Dixon pointed out that it’s important to know exactly what you are casting for each time you let your line fly. “The albies will be slicing right through the baitfish schools, and it’s important to lead them by several feet,” he said. “The bass, meanwhile, stick close together and plow through the schools like they are mowing a lawn. For these, bring your fly right across the front of the pack. Either way, stay in the bait with each cast. If your offering lands outside of the baitfish school, it’s going to get slammed by a monster blue.” Launch your own boat at Montauk for $25 at Gone Fishing Marina (www.gonefishingmarina78.com).

O
ne of the best parts of summer ending is the beginning of fall fishing and FROGS! I love to fish topwater frogs over grass, and this time of year is prime time. I live about 45 minutes from Lake Guntersville in Alabama, and there’s no place better, or more famous, for frog fishing than Guntersville. In the parking lot this time of year, there’s no telling how many different states you will see license plates from. I’ve fished all over this country and Guntersville definitely doesn’t have a monopoly on the frog bite. It has more matted grass than other TVA lakes, but fisheries up north have loads of grass too. And the bass up north seem to be more eager to bite. I think it’s because they aren’t targeted as heavily as they are down here. If I had the opportunity to take someone out and try to get them fired up about bass fishing, I think fishing a frog over matted vegetation would be my choice. If that person’s heart rate didn’t spike when a big bass blew up through the mat on their frog, then they would be better off doing something else. And then once they’ve seen a blow-up, the excitement level for the next one is all the higher. I get a huge smile on my face every time I see it happen no matter how many thousands of times it has happened. Just watching a fish blow up on a frog is exciting, but you also need to get him in the boat for that all-important photo op or weigh-in stage. For that you must have the right

gear. If you throw a hollow frog like the one in this photo over matted grass and he bites, you probably won’t get him in using monofilament line and a rod and reel from the department store. My setup for frog fishing is a sure-fire winner. Rod: MHX FP885 with Winn split grips and Winn Grip Sleeves | Daiwa reel | 60 lb. Vicious braid | Spro frog. Give it a try this weekend. I know it will work for you.
