Fishing Report: 6-21-2013
The overall fishing over the past week has been one of "transition", from very good at the beginning of the week to just fair from mid week on. That’s not to say that "all" locations from Cape Ann to the Merrimack River were off, but Joppa Flat was affected negatively by the heavy rainfall and the stripers that were up on the flat moved to cleaner water outside at the river mouth and along the beaches north and south. We had a very good day Monday fishing flies , topwaters and soft plastics just outside the river mouth. The river mouth was again super clogged with all sort of boats drifting, trolling or anchored up and catching stripers with live macks, clams or chunks, a very scary place!Later in the week I had the good fortune to fish with Capt Paul Rogato and we got to fish a few of his new 2013 line up of surface plugs. These new plugs were a blast to fish with as the stripers would track and smack the plug until they owned it! Watch the video. These plugs are available at Fin & Feather, Surfland and First Light Anglers.

After some exciting elimination races last week the stage is set for Gloucester to host our Canadian challengers in the 61st annual International Dory Races. This is an exciting week for dory racing enthusiasts, dory committee members, and the general public to witness tradition, skill and athleticism wrapped up in the friendly competition of dory racing between 2 nations. Saturday’s festivities will start with a pancake breakfast at 8AM followed by the dory races at 10AM. Competitors from Nova Scotia , Canada will come to Gloucester to compete in 5 divisions of 2 person team dory racing: Juniors (18 & under), Mixed Doubles, Women, Men Over 40, and Men Open. This is a great family event unique to Gloucester and Lunenburg NS that shouldn’t be missed. The 2013 IDRC Races will be dedicated to 3 members who recently passed away. Robert “Woody” Greeke, Fred Purdy Jr., and George Dearborn were all involved in the IDRC in different ways, but shared a passion for dory rowing that will live on in dory rowers for years to come.
Please find attached a schedule of events for the upcoming week. I hope all of our members and friends will make every effort to attend this week! Those who would like to volunteer to help out Gina Lampasi with the Awards Banquet, please email ginarow@gmail.com .

Running joke in our house is that our kids are 250th percentile at this or that. A joke making fun of obnoxious parents that claim their kids are this percentile or that percentile at some skill set. You’re only supposed to be able to go up to 100% but I like to say back to those folks when they say their kid is 85th percentile at something that my kid is 250th percentile and stare back at the quizzical looks on their faces.
Snoop Mad is 250th percentile at loving soccer. And that’s a higher percentile than your kid. Deal with it.
The whole paying attention during practice part maybe negative 250th percentile. Like when she was tending the net as the goalie and giving me the thumbs up on the sidelines when another six year old drilled a shot right past her for a goal. Oopsies.
and would you look at those rags we’ve got her in? She looks like a homeless soccer kid. Her parents get a negative 300th percentile for rolling their kid out in that get-up. Need to go to the sporting goods store stat and pick up some umbro soccer shorts.
This is the final trailer in efforts to get your lazy ass, and your even lazier friend’s assesses, to The Damn Farm Bar & Grille for the world premier.
