August 16, 1996 Ballston Beach in the hole in front of the big dune. More 30-40lb fish than you ever saw. Mike is right. We use to kill them in August on the Outer Cape beaches. Start at the Mission Bell and work to High Head. Work every bar and hole. If you didn't score big you ran to Head of the Meadow, Coast Guard, Long Nook, Le Count. It was all live and rigged eels and the sharpies killed em.

No boat, back in the suds.
