ICE FISHING TIME!!

Danny, Aaron and Ian were busy with their tip ups and jigging rods yesterday afternoon and did really well ice fishing. This largemouth was 5 lbs!

Though it has been Polar Vortex style cold this week, please be careful on the ponds and be certain they are safe before you ice fish. Some ponds are safe, some are decidedly not.

 

We have all the gear and all the bait you need for a great ice fishing trip!

Boat Brokerage

Boat Brokers work like real estate agents. They are agents whom people consult to find and purchase a boat, and whom people hire to list, represent, and sell boats for them. Traditionally, the seller pays the commissions that a yacht broker earns – not the buyer, yet brokers have a duty to both buyer and seller in every transaction......​​​​​​​

LAMSON GURU S-SERIES FLY REEL

Totally enlightened. Steadfast and stylish, Guru has long set a standard for enlightened excellence as a rugged, fully USA-machined, and ultra-reliable reel at a great price. By increasing the arbor to a larger diameter and making the spool narrower—all the while decreasing its total weight and parts—Guru S takes it to another level. An enhanced spool machining technique—focusing material only where it’s needed—makes this version significantly lighter and higher performing than its predecessor. We’ve opened the porting to reduce weight and improve line drying, and integrated the counterbalance. We even introduced a curved cross-section for structural stability.

Taking your game to fishing nirvana, this will be your Guru for life.

ortus charters

Striped Bass fishing around Race Point is still strong after the North wind blow from last weekend.  Live bait, metal flutter jigs and snapping wire have been the most effective since 9/25.

 

Tuna around the bank are there but finicky.  A lot of great bait at the SWC.  We should have some better intel as the weather settles the next three days and commercial fishing opens on 10/2

9/14/25

The weather gave us a break and the bass are still here and chewing! Had a crew from NY today and they had a blast with the vertical jigging. Fish in the shallows pulling wire, and jigging in the deeper waters on the backside of Ptown.

Catching Striped Bass on Cape Cod

The best ways to catch stripers

Goose HUMMOCK Fly Fishing

GLOOMIS NRX+ SALTWATER FLY ROD

Despite best-laid plans, conditions in saltwater environments can slide sideways in a split second. Walloping wind and cloud cover pack the potential to hinder the performance of even the most experienced tropical fly angler. When favor’s stacked in nature’s corner, level the playing field with fishing tools forged to conquer these, and other common variables. With a primary focus of maximizing versatility, these adaptable actions improve angler capability and expand tactical opportunity in difficult fishing situations. Rolled with our most advanced compound taper construction to date, NRX+ S provides the power, line speed, and loop stability expected from modern fast-action rods, without compromising “feel” and finesse for short shots when clouds turn the light down. This means, regardless of casting distance or difficulty, NRX+ empowers anglers with confidence-boosting control in less-than-ideal situations.
