My lure bag has a collection of plastic swimmers like sp minnows, which is what I use most of the time, but they don't work very good in a strong current.

So last night I switched to a 2oz bucktail jig tipped with gulp.

Not a large fish at all.... but saved my night, and I might have learned something.

Hi Matty,
I spent my early years driving a 25 foot Sea Ray, which we launched from the Granite Pier for 20 years.

I think I know the approaches to both Gloucester and Rockport as well as any place to launch, aside from the Pamet in Truro.

I probably have been there 300 times in the last 20 years to fish for stripers.

Later,
Rick

Another road trip! Heading down to Westport tonight. Booked a room. Meet up with Chris and enjoy a day on his sled chasing Charlie tomorrow! Get to meet Guppy too! I have a feeling there will be a few boats from the board out there......

Good luck, and stay safe out there.

That's awesome. I hope you guys kill them. Tell Dangles I tried to text him to see what's up for the tuna season.
Thanks,
Rick

Half of new England will be out there. Good luck. Sitting this one out for work/social engagement. Waiting for some new water at the edge.....

Pretty quiet in here..... Bones and albies should be getting some posts... The bell is ringing for some of the best fishing of the year.

As I said in the weekend post... best week of the season this week.. bass of all sizes...I fished every night this week and only saw 3 boats all week... all on selling nights...it'll only get better from here until late September..
