I think I've kept about five fish this year. Three of them had scup in them and the others had the usual---lobster, crab, and cunners. These fish right now, in the places that I fish, are on the grub, going from rock to rock looking for whatever. Scup love rocks but really love the smooth ground right next to them; cunners are right in the rocks. These are my observations while snorkling. I keep telling myself to stick to the game plan, fish the rocks and keep fishing the rocks and sooner or later something good will come. But the fishing hasn't been all that great for me.
Ramble induced by medication--off topic discourse. Scup good bait, some guys use twine through the nose, others go just in front of the dorsal, while still some lip hook them. All depends on current or drift speed. Long leaders and egg sinkers.
