Growing a beard was on my Bucket list and figured the way I am knocking fish off the Bucket List last/this year, I might as well do the beard, too. :rotf2:

I drove from wpt to nobska to get them yesterday Buzz
some of the coves in Naushon have fish too

thanks for the intel all! I am going to bed, didn't sleep at all Thurs night (up 40 hrs) too busy fishing in the canyons.

Went out of Fairhaven 0530 4 footers to robinson then 3 foot chop managed some schoolies met up with Buzz said hello around nobska then procceded to do a complete lap of the Vineyard didn't see a bird or fish until i returned were I started. had a few cast at them when the tide changed but they were up and down in a heart beat . happy I saw some its a start

Thanks for letting me know it was you on the highway

Found them very early south side before the winds picked up. A single pod only came into range once for a few minutes for this lowly surf fisherman. No takes. Other pods seemed to be only little blues under the birds. Winds picked up and there was no way to reach them so took off. Checked the calmer waters to the west later on and it looked fairly dead except for a few birds and a couple boats way too far out.

Have yet to find anything close to the mayhem that occurred a couple weeks back.

Seems there are some close to shore late in day on a south side beach after swimmers go home but up and down pretty quick. Nice and aggravating even for boat bound people, shore bound would be maddening.

Took my son today, albie virgin. He's caught a bunch of bonito but hasn't caught one of these speed demons. He's hooked! Had three doubles, ended up with a dozen and a shearwater released unharmed.

Things seem to have really quieted down on my pre and post work excursions. Cannot find any bait, birds, or fish showing anywhere close to shore. The exception was further east around Kennedyland a few days ago where I couldn't reach them with the wind in my face. I blame days of NE winds for moving the bait and fish off shore.

Flat calm out there this morning. wish I could have gone

Tweaked my back, need a few days to recover!

It was a gorgeous morning and I found a #^&#^&#^&#^&load of peanuts with fish on them for hours. Too bad they were mostly 20 inch bass lol. I actually took a respite from Albert and I hit CCB - needed a break from the futility of chasing the ghost fish. Back to the south side tomorrow. Maybe the change in wind will help change my luck. :smash:

How did you make out in CCBAY I was thinking of trying there this weekend. Was water weedy?

East facing shore One spot weeds every drift, other area clean with those peanuts and bass. Expected worse weeds. Fishable. Only a couple around 30 inch. Picky. They would only take small jigs. Should have taken my albie lures haha. Blitz conditions off like a switch Sun up.
