Surfcasting Under the Northern Lights – On The Water

While usually only visible at northern latitudes, a major solar storm made the Northern Lights visible throughout the Northeast, and many fishermen took the unique opportunity to make some casts and even catch some striped bass, under the Aurora Borealis. Here’s some of our favorite posts from last night’s light show.
