The Macs are there. I'v been doing a bunch of "plug testing" at the docks at the end of Bridge Street on the Beverly side. Always see a few. Salem Harbor has had birdsd working over them the past few days as well. Check the Danvers River. They're probably up in there too.

salt em when you save them and they keep the color and toughen the skin.

mike put them dowm on the bottom with a 8 or 10 oz weight with a fishfinder out past the b-bouy in about 90 feet or so large cod bass or maybe a charlie like last year pete

Baiting was slow this year, so i still got about 200 lbs whole and ground, in the freezer, plus about another 50-75 lbs in my buddy's freezer.

Grind em' mike, they'll keep till the spring
