Target Species

Four fish.
One obsession.

Striped Bass
Morone saxatilis
01

Striped Bass

The apex predator of the New England flats. Stripers push into the shallows to feed on crab and baitfish — when you spot one tailing at range and turn it to a fly, nothing compares.

Season
June – October
Method
Sight-casting, poling, shallow flats
  • Size range: 20–50+ lbs
  • Best: Dawn and dusk tides
  • Flies: Crabs, poppers, bunny strips
False Albacore
Euthynnus alletteratus
02

False Albacore

Pound for pound the hardest-fighting fish in the Northwest Atlantic. Albies arrive in late summer around the Elizabeth Islands — frenetic blitzes that demand quick casts and faster reels.

Season
Late August – October
Method
Open water, casting to busting fish
  • Speed: 40 mph first run
  • Best: Rip edges and island points
  • Flies: Bonito Bunny, small epoxy patterns
Bluefish
Pomatomus saltatrix
03

Bluefish

Aggressive, acrobatic, and absolutely relentless on a popper. Blues attack with a ferocity that keeps anglers honest — and remind you that not every day on the water needs to be subtle.

Season
June – September
Method
Poppers, surface flies, fast retrieves
  • Teeth: Wire tippet required
  • Best: Early morning blitzes
  • Flies: Deceivers, surf candies, poppers
Offshore

White Marlin
on the fly.

When conditions align, Jaime takes the Silverhawk offshore for one of the most extraordinary experiences in saltwater fly fishing. Sight fishing white marlin — spotting a fish on the surface, making the cast, watching the bill flare — is the kind of thing that redefines what's possible with a fly rod in hand.
