The SLACK TIDE LOUNGE

I’ve found that in fishing a tidal river like the Lower Potomac River, you figure out that the fishing is a little less productive on the slack tide. This is a good time to have a bite to eat, hit a marina for gas, or raft-up with a fellow fishing boat and catch-up on things. There’s often a lot of information exchanged, sometimes told in story fashion and laced with a little humor. Hopefully I’ve captured some of that here.

Cheers,
Marty

Ode to the Bonefish

Ode to the Bonefish

Bonefish will be my ruination. The challenge of such fishing, in seeing, stalking, casting to them in brisk winds, and then judiciously strip-setting the hookup is indelibly etched into my psyche. After the scorching runs of these fish on a coral rubble flat behind a...

Fishing for Bones

After 45 years of flyfishing, I finally struck out to see what all the fuss was about regarding the pursuit of bonefish.
