In anticipation of our upcoming False Albacore tagging campaign this fall in collaboration with the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at NEAQ, we’re inviting some of the best captains on the east coast to swing by The Guide Post and talk about the infamous “funny fish”.
The first episode in the False Albacore series features none other than the salty personality Capt. Mike Platt of Light Bite Charters in Connecticut. Mike provides an update on the status of fisheries in his region before taking a head-first deep dive into everything albies - from fishing tips, boat positioning, species appreciation, lure choice and the albacore angling culture as a whole.
If your dreams are haunted by little footballs stampeding the coast, you won’t want to miss this one. Throw #TheGuidePost Podcast in your headphones as you toast to a weekend of tight lines.
This week ASGA's New Hampshire Board Member Captain Peter Whelan swings by the Guide Post to tell some fish tales and talk about his recent appointment to the New England Fishery Management Council.

In the latest episode of The Guide Post, Willy and Will sit down with Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council Member Dr. Michelle Duval to discuss the recently approved Harvest Control Rule, which will change the way managers set recreational measures for black sea bass, summer flounder, scup, and bluefish. Dr. Duval, who has an extensive background in fisheries ecology and recreational fisheries issues, describes what the traditional process looked like and how the approved approach will operate.
The concept of the Harvest Control Year, and efforts to get it implemented quickly, have generated a lot of buzz and controversy in recent months. We certainly had our concerns, and still have several that remain unaddressed—namely, will the Harvest Control Rule work as intended, or will it increase the risk of overfishing and unsustainably managed fisheries? Follow along to learn more about what exactly the Harvest Control Rule is and what it might mean for the management of these four critical species.
