Plum Island
 

Is there a preferable tide to fish at the Plum Island jetty?? I was up there last weekend and had to deal with shoulder to shoulder people but no one was catching anything. Just wondering when the best time to be out there was.

If I were you, I'd try to find a different spot. The place gets fish but it also gets fishermen... It would be worth your while to find some places a little off the beaten path. I don't fish the north shore enough to offer specific spots (I haven't fished it much in 5+ years) but there is plenty of structure & shoreline to hold fish up there, especially around Cape Anne... Stripers LOVE rocks :D

Thanks John. It's a hike to go south to the canal and beyond. Salisbury is only an hours drive...I was trying to find something relatively close to home.

If you're close to PI, your close to Cape Anne, right? Where in Mass are you?

spot for ya
 

try great boars head point in hampton
grab an evening outgoing bring waders + big wood

Fish the beach front, not the river and it is much more pleasant experience. Lot 1 of the Refuge is open to fishermen. You fish with a much better class of people when you stay away from the river. I have seen too many boneheads keeping small fish, fishing right on top of you, and kicking schoolies back into the river because they do not want to get wet. I like the first two hours of the outgoing there.

Salty, Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that one night. I went with some friends out of Rye boat ramp yesterday. We caught some bait first then tried for bass BUT to no avail. We had one on but lost it...that was about it. I caught a small blue down in Falmouth last week but have still not caught a striper. I think I'm jinxed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
