Well I'm flying out on Thursday night, landing on friday at 540am gettting picked up at the airport and driving straight to chatham with plans to be on my boat no later than 730am.
I know i picked a crap tide / moon phase but just a couple stripers would be nice. Anyone care to PM my how their luck has been around our chatham spots. I don't need to keep if we're outside the 3nm line so i'll go anywhere.
Are sand eels still plentiful? What shops have the freshies? Any info is much appriciated!
Well, we hit the rips out by monomoy and it was deadsville. Hanky was a waste of time despite a ton of boats. Bearses was junk until just as we were leaving i saw some birds in one of the rips, figured it was blues and it was fully packed with stripers. We got them on top water with a sand eel looking needle plug. Caught dinner for 10 and every last bit was tasty!
On a side not, i almost flipped my boat. i've been going out there for 15 years and never ever seen a suprise wave like this. We had about an 8ft rogue wave in the rips that just popped up right from undernieth us and if i had not got on the gas i think we would have rolled. My friend fell right off the side of the boat... close call. just goes to show that she'll throw a curve ball at you every once in a while...
welcome to the Rain
Seriously though I'm glad you made out ok. I hope you have a wonderful time back in MA.
