Heya, Just an intro...

25 years old (i feel old... am i old?)
been fishing since i lived with my parents in Kingston (yeah i didn't grow up during the height of stripers everywhere... but being 8 and out in plymouth harbor trolling during the summer and dead of winter jigging up cod i'll miss)

always been around charter guys etc. so im technically a Pigs and Quick's Hole regular (yep... got me a boat... goddamma don't fish it too much inshore... too expensive) and usually down on east end chunking off the piers (look for balloons)


So... the oddness... Quick's has always been a hotspot if you had a boat....
Coming back from the Vineyard from a long weekend meeting the parents over there (yep... they got them damn boat things too)

Trolled ribbon... nothing
Trolled Quick's... nothing
Trolled Sandspit... NOTHING

Whats up with it this year?

Used both a nice rapala surface and a big deep diving bass plug

Not even a damn bluefish...

Now I know where the fish hide, and they seem to not be hiding this year?

Seems to be an exclusive buzzards bay chunk/eel year to me...
They couldn't give a flip about mackerel or anything else...

Maybe my luck is just crap this year?

On the lucky side of things... bout slack tide floating a choggy off the east basin pier (little bastards chompin on my chunk... we'll see how you like being the bait).... tied into something large.... unfortunately (not heeding my father's wisdom) i tied the line to the balloon... and not the balloon to the line... so you can guess where it broke...

Oh well... took a nice flounder outa there otherwise...

Cheers
Ted
