Mr. Macey,
I am sorry if I did not articulate what I was trying to say in a clear manner. Let me restate and try to clarify.
1st...
Originally you said you did not have a clue as to what you were doing.
I was trying to urge you not waste your time...(translated)...get frustrated throwing plugs at Bass feeding on live Herring right in front of a run. The odds are horrible to competete directly with those throwing live.
Take that Plug (I reccomend a black-backed bronze sided Beachmaster available at CMS) and go behind the Maritime Academy to the flats between the ball field and the rocks before the marina/launch ramp. Fish the flats at high water and into the dump and you can pull some of those fish a bit away from the run. There you will not have to compete with hundreds to thousands of live herring. The same 35# fish are around there but are more spread out with less of the real baits. Your odds increase to land that 35#er
2nd...
I do not want anyone to ever give up a spot they got to first and in no way meant that.
Furthermore, I do not fish that place as it is no longer enjoyable to me due to all the headaches mentioned above by others.
You referred to 500 casts and nothing to show but were ready to do it again. If that is what you want to do and are enjoying it, go for it and good luck. I understood what you posted to be seeking advice on getting your own 35#er from there. I also assumed that you saw all the herring tanks, baskets, etc and since you were not asking about them, had decided to not go that route.
All this in mind, I suggested to fish elsewhere as in away from the mouth of a run without the live herring. You know, like fishing around the pod of bait, not in the middle of it, hust on a grander scale.
As you saw there is a general consensus of how to fish that spot. Not unlike fishing Charlestown Breachway doing the cast, drift, rotate thing out on the jetty. I did not like doing it that way the first time I was there but I learned and bam, now I do it in the fall with sucess along with the next guy.
Finally, Ask around and you will find that your impression of me is mistaken. I would gladly take you fishing with me this weekend. I will be fishing all day on both Saturday and Sunday. PM me if you are interested. I would gladly show you how to collect live Herring and store them, though I am gettin Herring Friday evening. I will gladly take you to the places around the Buzzards Bay area that I will be throwing them without crowds. Places that also give up the good ones. There is a Bluefish blitz in the weekend plans also.
I am very glad to hear that you had a positive experience with the guys at the run. It gives me hope, but as stated earlier, it can be crazy down there and I would never throw a novice to that spot into the mix without someone who knows the game.
Once again, I apologise if you got the wrong impression from my original post. I hope have clarified my comments.
If you can make it this weekend...its gonna be fun
