Have a fellow colleague/friend moving to the island to manage a new hotel there. He's been a professional guide in Alaska, Montana, VT, sponsored by Orvis etc.. He's new to NE and really excited to fish the surf, seals and all. Just trying to give him an idea of bait he'll see throughout the year. I'm thinking squid and macks early, sandeels throughout the year, and then sea herring at the end of season? Does that sound right?

Hoping Ray registers and says hi. Would be great addition to this site.

Thanks all

You left out eels, menhaden, snapper blues, mummichogs, and all kinds of shellfish.

Butterfish, needlefish, edge of more tropical stuff too

Lots of razor clams out there. (Olive Habs needlefish)
