There were schools of Blues about 4 to 6 pounds in the East Passage in mid August. Then they disappeared and the Bay has been pretty much empty for the better part of the Summer. if you run down around the mouth of the bay you can find Stripers at night but the daytime bite is non-existant.

No boat, back in the suds.
