Most earned fish were caught fishing the bend in the South SIde jetti up on Plum Island in 1998 with mackeral and herring chunks. There were a few days in early June where a big storm was pushing big waves right at the corner where we were fishing. The tides were perfect dropping at sunrise and sunset, but the storm made it so dark it didn't really matter!. Catching fish in the mid twenties with all the conditions was crazy. I knew it because my brother and I were the only ones out there. That jetti is the worst I have ever fished.
Second most memorable would be when I was doing well fishing eels in the ditch with a guy named Mario from Worcester, Paul from Foxborough and an old guy named Ronnie. For me 1998-1999 have been my best yet, some night we would catch 5 fish or so over 40", all fat fish. It was like clockwork, 1 hr window. Not that this is going to drop anyones jaw or anything, but I didn't fish the ditch for the first time until 1997 (didn't have my liscense until 1994). Just good stuff from my books!
