What suprised me this weekend is how predictable some can be while fishing. Even with the hordes due to a holiday, as well as the later fish reports about a 50, all you had to do to get away was walk a bit. I fished the east end and Pips was jammed. I kind of like the Dolphins/Murderers Row area personally and with only say a 1/4 mile hike, at the most, I had it all to myself sunday morning from roughly 4am on till I took a break. Im not a big fan of crowds when fishing, tho a lot of that is due to a bad hooking accident at Wasque years ago.
As for the tour de france and guys who mug a spot after hearing about a 50, all I can say is they ought to learn fish do move with some consistency. I was taking a break from fishing around 10:30 sunday and happened to stop in to Cape Cod Charlies to say hi to Carl when coincidentally the phone call came in about the 50 pounder. I never even thought to ask where on the canal. Although his boss and I did both react pretty much he same way when Carl told us ...."What?????? he got it on top? No sh*t."
Plenty of people here with more years/hours in than me for fishing the surf, especially considering relative locations, but this seems like a decent start to the season to me. Anyone else?
