I fished for an hour this morning at the mouth of the Merrimac River
and did not catch anything!!! Talked to 3 other guys down there and none of them caught anything!!! Cool with a strong Northeast wind!!!
Fishing boats could not get out!!!
Will try again on Tuesday or Wednesday AM when the weather warms up!!! Hope the fish will be there then!!!

Fished down on the Cape this past Sunday with Bill and Jules ...hit a number of spots and did quite well ... slammed fish up to 26-27 inches (maybe longer if I stepped on it) on Big Fish's 1-oz pencil, as was Bill ... it was a great time ... surprisingly I did nothing on a jig, but was taking them on top ... go figure, I probably wasn't as focused on the bottom action as I should have been.

But they are around down there and this weather is making it even better.

This time of year I do better in the evenings as opposed to mornings. YMMV

Me to, I hate paying for bait. I used the pencil I got from you and it is real nice, I am going to our Herring run with it tomorrow and see if there are any bass that may want to bite it

Are the sand eels in tight or further out? Also, any seals prowling around? The reason I ask about the eels is that last year there were many suspended in 30-40 ft, but very few in close and burying in the sand.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Up tight to shore, they were beaching themselves when I was bringing my plug in the first wave, more whales than seals now but that will change I think I saw 2 or 3 but they were little grey seals they will head north and the big ugly horse head seals will take over
