I did lots of fishing early in the season. Got into cod to several lbs on the tail end of March, also caught several schoolies. I only caught one keeper from the shore of Boston Harbor, and that was on a false dawn on the 4th of July. I also did not catch any blues out of the harbor, but lots of skates as usual. My harbor fishing ended in July. Went to the Vineyard for a week during August, hit the surf and it was love all over again. Caught two nice keepers in a week (more than I had landed in the Harbor in 4 months), lots of juvenile scup, tons of dogfish, and even black bass. After that, it was all work and the weekends were shrouded in a purple haze of nightclubs, doubles, and other forms of vice. I regret it, always have more fun fishing the AM flood tide than rampaging and plundering Chinatown's steamy midsummer streets with the goons. Plus I loaded up on some nice gear over the 06-07 offseason and I didn't get to utilize it much. So with that said, the Harbor from the shore was terrible for me from March thru July for Bass & Blues.
