Fly Fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish in Boston Harbor

admin — Sat, 15 May 1999 18:54:02 +0000

Capt. Bill Smith of the Draggin' Fly Two takes us on a fly fishing tour of Boston Harbor showing us the ins and outs of fly fishing for striped bass and bluefish in the fabled "Hahbah..."

The secret is also out! The Harbor's reputation as one of the Northeast's premier striper and bluefish hot spot is spreading. While there are many ways to catch these fish, guests aboard my charter boat, Draggin' Fly Too, prefer to stalk bass using fly rods and light tackle. The rocky outer-harbor combined with the sheltered waters of the inner harbor provide outstanding opportunities to sight cast to stripers that average 6-12 pounds but with a realistic chance of fish in excess of 30 pounds on flies and light tackle. Fishing continues to get better each year! Last August, more trophy-sized bass were caught by my clients than during the entire two previous years.
