I think the whole migration is delayed. We are catching mostly local fish in RI. You can tell by the color. When the Cape fish come through they are lighter because they live on sand all summer. The fish I have been catching are green, not black like the Maine fish and not light like the Cape fish so I figure the migration hasn't really started. Might be a few fish headed South but no big push yet. Water temp on the South Coast is still 65
Fished the Newburyport side yesterday (incoming and outgoing tides). There were alot of lines in the water, but outside of a few baitfish on the surface in the a.m., it was very quiet.....Too quiet.....
