Schoolie Monster,
I've purchased the pass for Duxbury the past few years. For non-residents, the price went up to $200 this year. I think its only worth it if you (or your) wife will spend time beach going as well. I doubt we'll buy it next year as we only went to the beach a couple of times. I agree with Steve about the tides, however time of day doesn't seem to mean as much for me. I've never caught a keeper at Duxbury but have caught numerous schoolies - up to 26". For me seaworms work best on a hi-lo rig with circle hooks. Skates are a problem for sure. I've caught them in the middle of the day in the height of summer as well as at night. Never had any success with artificials there. I've only seen bluefish come through there a couple of times but I'm sure they're around.
