Friday, August 10, 2012: Keep a spooked eye out for storms all day today and into tonight. If you’re thinking of going offshore, you might want to watch those radar map real close at around 3…

I live in Stafford and wanted to share this awesome picture of the fish I caught on 8/7/2012 while ling fishing. The picture is me struggling to hold the monkfish up. Additional information: 18 pounds, caught on the fishing boat Paramount. Depth: 225 feet. Caught by Carlos Santiago from Stafford,…

Wednesday, August 08, 2012: It’s a sultry day but not a load of sun -- and light winds, just enough to get a real sensitive ocean/reef-area fluking drift going.
