Your right on the money jb. The No-See-ums will eat skeeters and blackflies for breakfast and then turn on you. I've been known to run screaming and crying off the marsh.
I am pretty fond off a few of the rock piles off Scituate/Cohasett. Nothing like tossing plugs into the white water when that tides just right. Catch you on the pond
The shad are still pretty thin up the old creek. Should be great after a couple more warm ones.
