Randy Sigler's Ultimate Striper Camp! 2012

 Fishing has been HOT down in Salem, MA.  The kids camp keeps me busy during the week, and is an awesome place for young fishermen to get up close and personal with these oceanic beauties!

 When the fishing is bonkers, some prefer the more civilized method....

 Putting the hurt on'em with the 12 wt!!

Marblehead & Ipswich Bay... Sunday Slay Ride!

Kate & Dave Anderson laying waste to the Stripers off of Plum Island - Both anglers insist upon using Sage 6 wt's!!

Hardcore, and tough to please, this dynamic duo takes frequent trips with Greasy Beaks and always make the fish Pay $$$

Mackerel mission turned Striper off Plum Island

On Saturday we headed out off of Plum Island to find bait and get away from the masses...

We hit Macky's in 93ft of water and it wasn't long before we saw a group of bass feeding lazily on the surface.  

Kate stuck this beauty after a school of bass charged her mackerel laden sabiki rig.  With out hesitation she grabbed a "pitch bait" & linked up!!  I keep telling her how fishy she is.... 

Salem Harbor, Oregon Springers, and Scup caught striper

           Clubber Lang came tight on this 33" Salem slab right off of Gooseberry Island.  Later in the evening he linked up to something large & in-charge while trolling a pollock.  The fish dumped half the braid off of his Abu ambassador and was never heard from again : (

Nathan sent me this shot of a Eugene Springer that he scratched up while "swinging" flies on the Willamette.

Awesome pic of a 75lb striper caught in the Long Island Sound on a live Scup!
