Funny fish
 

So far it’s been a good year for funnies. We’ve been finding them in some odd places. We had a nice bite north of the cape but that seems to have dried up. The bonito have been huge this year. Monday we fished around MV and had sea bass blitzing with bluefish. Bonito were elusive but when the afternoon wind kicked up so did the Albie bite. There were good numbers of nice Spanish macks in the mix too. Bait balls everywhere. And we found a new productive fluke spot. Love this time of year

:btu:

I'm on a losing streak. Been covering a lot of eastern BB. Can't stand the boat circus on the sound side (although it has become awful over here as well). Barely saw a fish yesterday and did not see one today. Missed some chances with the flyrod Sat but that is about it for 7-8 days of trying since my first and only fish of the season so far.

Took some poking around yesterday in similar haunts but found them not til late in the day and only had a few good shots. Only one other boat around but I’m also batting .000

Except for a lights out hooter trip... I’ve had shots at them south side CC but no connections,,,,, :-(

Sept. 3rd I consider the sweet spot out my back door,,,, fingers crossed ;)

Not sure your back yard gup but from my understanding your gonna be ok. Especially if it correlates with a possible sb event this weekend. Gonna try to get down if I can

Iam not done yet ... I'll try again tomorrow

talking about HOOTERS .they are working like crazy getting the Warwick one back up & bouncing ………..but the C-19 will cut this down also ><>

South side Yarmouth.....

Mike (Freak) change day from Saturday to Monday and that’s beginning to look like a blow out... good news is it’s just starting....

If you come down I’ll probably be out there somewhere.....

Check your PMs

:kewl:

Hoping to get into them tomorrow in RI, if not sea bass and possibly a tog or two. Was planning on trying in shore tog, but seems nobody is really stocking crabs just yet, so maybe next week.

Macos has crabs as well as Westport as of yest

Gup can find crabs anywhere.

Goddam Korea is to blame.

bOB .,, gALE & I LIMITED OUT ON Monday .. I,m not catching crabs / just like last year . so we used Asians crabs ><>

I new I could get crabs at Maco’s, but I decided I’d rig up and hope for some albie action. If not it will be sea bass and tog, but I am really looking forward to a hard pulling tog and some fresh fish for diner.

Not happening this am (6am-1030am) for me yet again. Ran from Quissett to Hadleys to Nonamesset to Cedar Tree to West Chop to East Chop to VH back to Lamberts across to Tarpaulin to Lackeys back to Hadleys to a few miles north of Quissett and back to Quissett. Spent time at each place waiting. Passed other guys doing the same. Never saw a break and almost no birds working. Visibility was excellent. Checked from shore locally a few times this afternoon and evening. A small group of widely spread boats waiting off Nobska was the only suggestion of fish I witnessed. Other than west chop I didn't mark much bait either.

I’ll put the trap in this weekend...

Albies off the wall this morning,,,,, acres of then for 3 hrs on the middle of the incoming,,,, and rain like you read about, rained so hard my shrimp boots filled with water...... LOL

Half dozen fish for what seems like 100 casts..... I luv the fall... :-)

Your neck of the woods or mine? I have to wait till Saturday but I’m off next week.

been planning to go to the block next weekend for a year , had to cancel due to covin:wall::wall:

Pulled a half dozen tog off Saconet light with plastic, most just short, but one bruiser that will be diner. Had to weed through a bunch of short sea bass to cull a couple keepers and was hoping to see Albert but not one feed anywhere. I’m about to call it just east of the harbor jetty and mark fish do I dropped my 4”split tail to the bottom and let out line to slowly drift and bounce bottom when suddenly albies pop right around me, so I crank in hard to possible switch to a light rod with epoxy jig, but no need as I’m hammered halfway back to the boat. Man I love the fight, pulled me around for what seemed like ten minutes.

Awesome, putting traps in this weekend, we go soon, hey?

Epic out there today. Lot of fish seem to be arriving.

Always up for a boat ride. Edit this after I notice birds everywhere off white horse beach and I can see fish busting with binoculars. If I were 30 it would be a race to get down there, but getting up at 3 at my age zaps my desire for a double.

Sounds like lots of fun starting to happen. Very jealous. Please post pics!

Fun for sure
