Almost nonexistent. Sucks.
Got out on boat for just the tenth time this year. Had netted live pogies in the baitwell. Hit four spots that would have held fish in years past. Chunked up four of the pogies to get slicks in two of those areas. Nada..... Had one schoolie that was barely longer than the pogie take a look. Just four bass boated this season, all on day I first launched in early July. I used to routinely have four onboard by 7AM!!!!! Local comms are way down. Best local fisherman I know took bait into Boston Sunday, worked his way back towards Marblehead and found nothing.
Saturday I got to favorite local surf spot just after sunrise. Too late, as another guy had two 38" fish on the rocks. He said it shut down when sun rose. I did manage a fish though, and actually even landed it!!! All 27 inches of it. But I was grateful for the fish. Time to get on the rocks in the dark and save the fuel I guess.
I will be hitting some inshore cod spots in state waters as they have been holding cod and are not included in the Gulf of Maine closure.
Can't justify targeting bass right now. Hoping to bail out the season with albies..... I will go over to the Derby IF they are there in decent numbers.
All sorts of folks locally are asking what is going on and I have nothing to offer but my sorry numbers. Many seemed surprised, but I am useless to anyone looking for reports or tips in this neck of the woods. No chest thumping here..... Hero to zero.
