:) $10.00 per person fishing!!!

Not bad for what you could win!!!!

I'll be fishing between Thatchers and the Rockport breakwater and Halibut Point green can!!!

Behind the rockport break water is known as the Flatlands usually but not always you can get some good fishing!!!

If anybody is trailering a boat the best place to launch is Granite Pier the cost is about 20 bucks for the day!!! And that is in the heart of good fishing !!! you can go north, east or west in the open ocean!!!! ;) :cool:

hey thanks, but I actually do almost all of my fishing in Gloucester. Only live in NH. We'll try to make it early if you'll be around, we'll be in a Good Go 28' CC. Good luck :D.

Well we didn't make it, plans fell through :(.

Oh well, hope you had a productive and safe day,

Sorry to hear it. Did you happen to sea the winner, how long, how much?

I'm on vacation this week, so I'll be going just about every morning, and the best part is the marine forcast is supposed to pretty good, 2 - 4 most the week.

Hope to see you out there :)
