The two stripers pictured were caught behind a poagie school between Spectacle and LI last year, upcurrent was all large blues.

Stop by if you see me by Rainsford or in Quincy Bay, I've got an 18' blue skiff with white bumpers and a trap hauler, and normally a cooler of red shelled bartering tools for live poagies.

I believe I saw you sunday around noon or so Wessie ramp you were heading out, and I was the next boat to get to the out side of the ramp. I backed off so you could motor out in front of me.
