I waded the the Danvers River at the Kernwood Bridge Sunday 6/1/08. I was fishing on the p.m. incoming tide. I was only out for two hours, but caught no fish and saw no bait (saw lots of Jelly Fish though). I saw no crashing fish either. I was using big herring patterns and Clousers.
Anybody been fishing the area? Anybody having better luck?

I waded the Danver River, Beverly, Massachusetts last night on the incoming tide between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. I fished the Kernwood side with a fast sinking line and Herring patterns. I picked up two bass in the mid-twenty range.
Anyone else have any luck on the Danvers River System lately? What were you using? How were you rigged? Where were you fishing? Did you see any bait?

That makes me think. I have a modest proposal, a proposal that will end the pesky worldwide

In late April, I fished the Delaware River in the Catskill Mountains. My friend, Carlo, Maggie, my Miniature Schnauzer, and I drove five hours from Boston. We were meeting Chippy D. at the West Branch Angler in Deposit, New York. You could hear the river flow from our cabin porch.
Carlo is a Day Trader whose longtime girlfriend left him. She took everything: the house, the car, the

This is an open pit mine
Look, you can even see it from space
This is Bristol Bay Alaska
This is a Bristol Bay Rainbow
Unless you act, the Rainbow will be gone and Bristol Bay will be replaced by an open pit mine
Bristol Bay Alaska is one of the most complex and precious ecosystems on the planet, and it is now imperiled by the spectre of the world’s
