Alright whos gonna go for flatties off the shore. If the weather stays like this it should get interesting.

Thought it was closed until May 1? Or is that Just March 1 thru May 1?

I used to do real well fishing off Wollaston beach near Blacks creek for Flounder. Maybe time to try it again!

Specialist around Shell Point, and Buttermilk Bay is good. You can keep three. It will get upped to ten May 1st again but be sure to check the Regs. Freshwater bass are biteing I have to get ready for the tournies.

Whats a ''freshwater bass''

TheSpecialist · 02-25-2002, 09:21 PM

Steve they changed the regs. It opens March 1 3 fish.

STEVE IN MASS · 02-28-2002, 11:13 AM

Yeah? Is that for sure? If so, I'm giddy!!! There's a spot, aw, what the hey, everyone knows of it.....the PP Bridge, that always gave up good flounder in late March and April, but by the May 1 opening, slowed down considerably. Beacuse of that, haven't fished it for flounder in years.....and there's a secret to getting them.....um....you can take the long walk, thanks anyway....

Can you say "can of corn"?......and in that vein, I once heard that a world record was negated on some species because the guy who caught it used canned corn as chum....something about the salt as an additive being unnatural and thus disqualifying.......Mr. Kav, wasn't that the Town of Needham water guy who told us that?

Canalratt1 · 02-28-2002, 01:16 PM

Shh about the corn! PP is also good for white-chins too!

STEVE IN MASS · 02-28-2002, 01:55 PM

Hey, the corn wasn't the secret I was talking about, yah gotta read deeper, or maybe not,

than that).....but, I hear cat food works pretty good as well.....

Rabbit Pellets...

I also heard catfood. Steve you can confirm by going to the OTW site and reading the cape reports or calling some bait shops. So buddy feel like some flatties. By the way Tony there were some keeper cod caught last week at the Nut on clams.

Steve I was serious about the corn! Crushed mussels are good too. Bill if that report of cod was from Darryl i'll pass...

- And I bet you've never played DARTS against him too, hehehehe... He's not that bad, just don't always expect the whole truth and nothing but the truth... and large eels are always 10 inches long

STEVE IN MASS · 03-01-2002, 04:47 PM

Oh, Canal....I'm serious about the corn as well......it works wonders....but at PP, there's also another secret....

.....keep thinking......

PS...Capt....my last rabbit died about a year ago, and I ain't getting another...especially since my wife always looked so said when I made rabbit stew.....no, not from that one, store bought!!!!

Canalratt1 · 03-01-2002, 04:52 PM

Hmm maybe steamers?

STEVE IN MASS · 03-01-2002, 05:01 PM

Nah....wrong track....think warm.....

(Okay, maybe with steamers, you're on the right track, hey they're warm when you eat them.......or could it be????......)
