Plan B

Instead of allowing stiff winds to ruin your Hopedale fishing trip, have an alternative plan — and put plenty of trout in the boat.

It’s a scenario every angler is familiar with. You heard the fish were biting in the outside waters at the islands and rigs just off the coast. According to all the reports, the action has been spectacular. The fish have been large and plentiful, and so cooperative even mediocre fishermen like your brother-in-law, Clyde, are coming home with limits of whoppers.

You’re drooling at the prospect of bent rods and tight lines, and you have a day off coming up to get out into the middle of the fray.

You plan your fishing trip carefully, knowing exactly what you plan to do: Get to the launch, load up the live baitwell and head straight to the outside, without getting distracted by diving birds or tempting spots on the inside.Click here to read more on Plan B
