block isalnd rocked!!! we caught stripers 10-20 lb averages in many different situations. i got a 10 lb on wire in a breaking school in the afternoon. caught some really nice stripers on a block island rip.the capt employed a bait and switch technique that was epic.seeing a 36 inch striper come completley out of the water to crush a plug was heart stopping. if anyone has any thoughts of going just do it. the island is beautiful.our guide was capt greg snow of snowfly charters really nice guy.

I had a feeling he was your guide....have read his articles in On The Water and he seems to have the local fishing down pat on the island! Glad you enjoyed it!

the bait and switch was from a dead boat driftining across the rip. huge hookless spook (12 inch) walking the dog until bubba smashed it .after a few hits they got really pissed .greg would yank the plug and a big popper was thrown in the ring left behind. 75 % of the time it would get crushed. it was heart stopping.

Nice fish! Wow I really miss catching those.

Sounds just like teasing a sailfish. Does yer fly have a body. The photo looks like all resin?.
