I wasn't even going to chance it in my boat and then ironically this evening coming into Boston harbor I had my hands full to say the least. Flat arse calm all afternoon and hot, but as soon as the NE blow started man I lucked into a bass bite that was unreal for several hours. I never moved from one 50 foot area and it was a bass a cast until the waves started to build to a point, I decided I'd better beat feet for safety reasons. Well the 4 mile run back to the harbor entrance was wet but managable, but the standing waves from the entrance to Hull Gut were bad with the strong NE and outgoing tide. I had to tack my way in and under more power than I'd normally need, just to keep my bow from plowing under. I was soaked at the end, but happy to be inside and back on the trailer. Schoolie and the boss know where, not spots to be burned hehe.
