Anyone have any suggestions for fishing this area of the Cape? I know PTown very well, but its too far to take my 9 yr old in my boat. This whole area seems to be heavy tackle (wire) and deep...

Not really kid friendly or very fun for that matter... lots of fish being taken by the charter guys on jigs...
Get a dozen eels and a few 3 way rigs. Go to that same spot and drop the eels down. Keep contact with the bottom. Drift and enjoy the sights.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
