damn this doesn't sound good Spinn, managed one 24 inch fish yesterday up your way off the rocks. I was throwing sluggos and swimmers and with things so slow I was wishing I had eels, then some guys showed up next to me and started thowing eels and didn't get anything either so that answered by question.

Time to get over it, a new weekend begins tomorrow!

Got into some nice fish from the shore on July 4th am at an undisclosed CC Beach. Fish from 15-20#s on every cast. If you could get them past the seals. If you have a friend throw rocks at the seals when they have the fish they sometimes drop it. I wish I had my camera because I landed 2 heads up to about 10#s after the seals got through with them. Hey , I got my plug back, but I spent about half of the time the fish were hitting wrestling with the seals. It was very frustrating, but still fun anyway.

Waquoit bay
 

Hi,

I keep my boat in Waquoit and Sat and Sun were miserable. Winds had to be 30-35. This time of year just outside the jetties is usually great, but the water was so rough I didn't even try with a boat. Looked like 3-4' seas. I fished a little from the jetties but got nothing. The only saving grace was that the clamming was great. On Monday, the nice day, I had to work on my deck for fireworks that night. Can't wait for this weekend. It sounds like a good one!

John I initially went to go out of Waquoit Mon. morning for fluke and when I got to the ramp in Mashpee there were new signs up that says residents only Memorial day to Labor day. Tried another that goes into Pomponesset and same sign. WTF. Both ramps were deserted too. That sux's. Paul

Holy Deja-Vu!!!
I only landed one head, but, that was my experience too.
I was thankfull to get the plug back, but.. I'd kinda like the striper too.
Notice how they watch you cast now, they watch for the fish to strike, then they make their attack...
SeaRats :rocketem:

if you meant my fish, I thought it was gonna be close to 30 also but it was 42" and 25 pounds on Mike's scale at M&D's.
got it in the canal, black jig

thanks Matt


good job Mikey and Karl trying to not feed those searats.

Nice fish Slip!!

Man, I thought that I had just lost my mojo, but here's everyone else complaining about the catch shortage. Now I don't feel so bad. No keepers yet this season, and I couldn't even catch a scup last weekend.

Karl I agree. I think the seals know who is catching and who is not. They always seem to camp out in front of people who are hooking up. I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They robbed me of a banner day that morning.

Never mind no keepers... Ive been out 5 weeks in a row.. to multitudes of places.. and I think I may have seen a dozen fish landed..


Granted - with my schedule - I get out when I can regardless of tide etc... but still... luck has been non existant for me... Its making my impending *vacation* from fishing all the more easy.
