Striper Fishing the Rocks

presented by Allan Butler


One of the most exciting places to fish for striped bass is a rocky shoreline, whether it is from land or boat, we will be talking about how to fish it whether seas are flat or there are mountains of water crashing on the rocks.


Allan will cover: what to look for, the best times, what to use when you are there, and how to land your catch. Hardware, flies or bait, he will go over what you need to do to put yourself on fish, beginner or seasoned angler.

For over 40 years Allan Butler has been a Fishing Guide, Outdoor Writer, and Public Speaker, most of it spent guiding for stripers with both spinning and fly. Allan’s style of guiding has always been foremost about instruction and showing his clients how to fish our great waters!

Club Meeting: April 16, 2024: Making and Fishing Big Plugs for Bigger Fish by Gary Soldati

This was originally scheduled for January 16, 2024. Cancelled and rescheduled on account of snowy weather.

Making and Fishing Big Plugs for Bigger Fish


presented by Gary Soldati 

  • “Size matters” when it comes to plugs!
  • “Big Bait, Big Fish”!!
  • Best Time for fishing “Big” plugs!
  • Up-size your tackle when fishing big plugs!

Hi, Gary Soldati here…
 

For over 35 years, I’ve loved the thrill of the chase. Pounding surf. A moonlit night. The sudden strike of a strong fish.

Even better, I love catching quality keepers.

From Maine to Cape Cod, on Block Island and at Montauk… I’ve caught my share. And I’m always on the lookout for a plug that can consistently catch big fish.
