Sunday morning may have been the exodus of the macs from Cape Ann Harbor. The outer harbor had witnessed an explosion of blues and stripers munching on the bait fish. Many pods of birds were working from the paint factory to the breakwater. Have the macs left? Boats jigging for macs early Sunday did not fair well loading up on the macs which leads me to believe that they have mostly left, pushed out by the blues and stripers. Maybe Saturday's explosion of blues & stripers in the inner harbor by the state pier started the forcing of the bait to head to the outer harbor and exiting to the open ocean. I did not see any birds feeding this morning as I drove by the outer harbor and along the state pier.
It may be time to start chunking or put the net out for pogies
