Man what a morning up in Hull, Quincy and then Hingham to end the day. I'll bet I caught close to, or over 100 stripers between 5:30 and 11:30 when I just plain ran out of energy. I launched in Higham at the 3A ramp, ran to Hull Gutt and when I turned the corner heading towards Quincy, I couldn't believe my eyes. From the shore of Peddocks Island, out 100-200 yards and almost the entire length of the island, nothing but busting fish on top. I probably caught 20 fish in the first 20 minutes on a chrome Chug Bugg and then figured it would be safer (no trebles) to switch over to my 7 inch hand poured jerkbaits. Until about 8:30 I kid you not, it was a fish on every cast.

I usually get 5-10 fish per jerkbait, because of the corkscrew baitholder I use, but I damn near ran out of baits by 11:30. I poured up about 50 baits when I got home, because I'm hoping for a repeat on Monday morning. My elbows and shoulders are so sore and my thumb looks like it went through a meat grinder. I can't thank you enough for the report you posted earlier this week, because I had every intension of hitting my usual haunts between Scituate and Cohasset. When I saw your post, I just had to give that a try and man am I glad I did. Surprisingly few small schoolies to, most were nice chuncks between 20-27 inches, with a maybe 4 that probably would have kept.

I'm beat now, but I did want to extend my thanks, I owe you one. Tight lines.
