Dogfish July Blues...
Left the Sandwitch ramp around 5:30am, said hi to Nelson from Red Top launching a brand spanking new boat. Little bit of a crowd but everyone seemed patient and things went unusually smooth. Nothing doing at Scorton Ledge or Barnstable Harbor area so gave Billingsgate area a try. Gotta be something there what with the hole fleet of boats... First cut mackeral wasnt in the water 30 seconds and bang...dogfish. Hmmm, tried again and same thing. Ok, one more w/no weight.....dogfish#3. Well, maybe try the bottom, big 4oz bucktail. Tap, tap tap but no hookup. Fluke? Tried a 1oz bucktail and landed dogfish#4. Gave up on that and trolled an umbrella rig. One single blue and then 3 at once. Kinda taxing on the small Jigmaster....and tough on the plastic.... Tried Scorton Ledge again on the way in and landed another dogfish. How did everyone else fair?
Was anyone able to get into the Bass today?
