The fish that came out of Chatham averaged about 18-19lbs. I havent seen that healthy of a fish stock for a long time. 33" inch fish were 17 pounds. Buttrer balls. If the bait is there they will come. I was pulling in 20 lb pollock on almost every trip. Looking at a fish when it came out of the water with the top of its head all beat up from pounding sand for sand eels. All the fish from Ptown to Nantuck have come there to feast on all the bait. Dont want to forget to say loaded with macs out there to. A buddy of mine who flies his plane out there told me that he saw a 15 mile stretch of bass out there. Cool water temps and bait === fish. The highlite of the season for me is that i see lots of people have put the gaff away and adopted the net.
If we want to see fishing like this in our neck of the woods we need to fix the bait isue.
