Hi there, This is my first post but I have been a member for a while. I was out on the South Shore this Wednesday (Plymouth/Duxbury area). Nice day in all with 26 fish on the incoming mid morning tide. 2 keepers at 29" and 30 1/2" (all fish released). Many of the fish had nice fat bellies and sand lice was covering some and not at all on others. My buddy was going to fish this morning in the same area but do not have a report yet.

Fished the falling tide. Moving water = big fish. Biggest was a 36" & the fattest I've seen in quite a while. Coughed up two macs. Rain/drizzle picked up around 5:30. 3 1/2 hours fishing. 30+ fish. 3 legals

I launched out of Plymouth ~230pm today. Macks are out front in 60-75' of water but not in big numbers. Between three of us, we took ten in about an hour of jigging, all big too.

Brought them in to see if anything was interested but the weather just got to foul for us and we called it quits. A few twinkies a piece casting to working birds. I'd see this week we'll see big numbers.

I wouldn't head out now without the needed christmas trees/sabikis, troll them around till you get em.
it's going to be hot so keep changing the water to keep the macks kickin.
I just got tomorrow off Now how soon will I pierce my hand with a sabiki hook - I can't wait.

I fished for a couple of hours out in front of sandwich yesterday morning. Picked up about 50. Small scattered schools - slow pick. No touches on my livey.
At least I got a small start on my tuna bait.

Did get one steroid Mac- really should have snapped a pic, it was ridiculous.
