The Pogie bite in the harbor is the best I've ever seen it. Bait schools can be found everywhere, everyday, for a month now.
Phil and I have been doing some lazy weekend anchor'ups, tossing pogies into various rocks.
There is nothing like watching a pogie get whacked around.

Cant wait for those little guys to start coming south Paul. Thats when things start to get wild.

Jay, They were in my SLIP this AM!!! I could have dip netted a live well full. Unfortunately I was meeting someone to go surf fishing. We fished way West in the surf for 3 hours and never got a bump so I'm thinking that either:

1) The big bio mass is staying off shore

2) They are all on the SWL

3) They haven't moved inshore yet.

We were fishing a spot that usually has Mullet at this time of year and there was NO bait at all in the wash

nice a friend from Quincy has been doing well also some big blues 36inch also

real nice photo Mike / don,t get any better ><><>

Didn't go Mike. Got family stuff but they were in my marina yesterday morning. In between the slips.

Huge bluefish have moved into the inner harbor. The pogies have nowhere to hide now. All you need to do is look for the latest fish oil slick to find the fish.

Pogie boat has been vacuuming them up in Salem the past two days....

Hmmmmm
May try and run up there this week, sOunds like fun

nothing in the slips early .when we came in very small pods everywhere ><><

Paul give me a call and let's fish soon. Long overdue anyway, and I know where some big bass are holding waiting to eat some pogies.

Don't think I have your# Jay. Check your PMs

F $$$ IT ><><:bgi:

So, last night I'm sitting on porgies , snag and drop another, while snagging with another rod to fill the live well I gets one next to the boat, reach down wrap the leader around two fingers right hand to lift up the porgy, just as it breaks the surface , wham, a hell of a nice fish come up and sucks it up along with the snag, so now I've got a fish as green as they get thrashing like a hooked shark, grabs the leader with left hand to unwrap it from my fingers,,,, not!, lines so tight wouldn't budge, runs my left hand down the leader to try for a lower lip grab and hooks me self,,, that's when she broke loose and left me looking like one of those tied up cows at a rodeo... LOL

somethings wrong with me,,,, I luv this chit.... :rotf3:

that,s great Guppy ><>

Nice .. but another reason to wear a life jacket if alone .. you never know

a little of the action on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2EVBi_32Vs

BTW: that fish in 1st pic is my new PB. Largest since 2002, but we all know boat fish don't count so no one will see this!

You're not kidding small.......didn't catch a seabass over 8"....but they kept catching me....:af:
