Stalking Gator Pike And Trophy Trout In The Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea shimmered brightly as we cruised between the islands due east of Helsinki, Finland in the Eagle deep-V 21-foot outboard. The 90 horsepower Mercury Verado sped past quirky looking ancient wooden fishing boats that have plied these waters for generations.

A Striped Bass Bonanza
It’s been said that if the striped bass species ever became extinct, the last one would be caught on Cape Cod. With a gorgeous Northeast coastline filled with countless fishing opportunities running from Connecticut to Maine, that’s a bold claim.
