We have been selling the Albie/Bonito Long Cast Jigs at a feverish pace. Just today, we received orders from Ocean State Bait & Tackle, Misquamicut Bait & Tackle, Bass Pro Shops – Bridgeport, CT & Bass Pro Shops Foxborough, MA. Online sales have also been non stop. Get your Daddy Mac Lures Albie/Bonito Long Cast jig order in before they are all gone.

For residents of the Northeast, the final dog days of summer are treated more as a ceremony than as the end of a season. The rugged hills and seaside towns slow, accepting a lethargic and patient transition before the low light and chill of autumn settles in for good. Drinks are poured, towels spread out, and troubles forgotten. Yet, while most people use these fleeting moments of New England heat and blue skies to relax, some adopt a different temperament. Filing out in droves, fishermen across the East Coast don waders and rev engines with eyes to the sea, waiting patiently for the first signs of the fast, powerful gamefish that grace our waters every year: the false albacore.

Jack Houghton of Daddy Mac Lures
Vertical Jigging For Striped Bass

 

Jack Houghton is a commercial fisherman, charter captain and co-owner of Daddy Mac Lures. His seminar will teach his methods of vertical jigging for striped bass off of Chatham. Using this method, there are those that are able to out fish others consistently. “Learn some tips and techniques to even the playing field,” says Jack. “It’s the little things that make the biggest difference.”

Daddy Mac Lures is proud to announce that Captain Matt Trombley of 3rd Alarm Charters and Guide Service in Proctor, Vermont, has been added to our team of Pro-Staffers.  Captain Matt comes to us with years of experience fishing the Hudson River, Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario for various species including salmon, trout, bass, pike and walleye.

As we expand our freshwater presence, we have no doubt that Matt’s vast knowledge and experience will be a tremendous asset to us.  Matt is also a 20 year veteran of the City of Burlington, Vermont fire department and a 26 year veteran of the Fire Service.  His professionalism and strong work ethic make him the perfect fit for our existing Pro-Staff team, and a welcome addition to the Daddy Mac family.

We would also like to thank Matt Dempsey, Donald Hobart and Colton McGrath for attending every show as part of the Daddy Mac Team. Without their dedication and hard work setting up for shows, working the booths, and breaking down after every event, we never would have seen such an unprecedented and successful expo season. A special thanks to Donald Hobart for months of behind the scenes labor and preparation along with co-owners Dennis “Daddy Mac” and Jack.

Finally, a big thanks to our friends and supporters Field Staffer James “Squid” Young, Jim Smith, Dan Thissel and Phil Belcher for assisting Daddy Mac Lures with packaging in preparation for the show season.
