If the wind gods allow there is some very fine flyfishing along the Cpae Cod Bay shores by boat. On the flats from Sandy Neck to Wellfleet and everywhere in between the northeast blow has delivered a smorgasbord of bait from sand eels to larval crab and plankton blooms that draw the baitfish in to dine and be dined upon.

Yesterday at an UDL in my skiff I took many bass on Clousers and Hi-Ties with my new Sage FLI 8WT up to 23 pounds/42 inches long. That fish took a size 1 Chart/white Clouser on a ten pound tippet in two feet of water and went 100 plus yards on the first run. I had several in the 36 inch range. Incoming is the best tide.

Now I have to try my new Orvis TLS/POWER MATRIX Tip Flex 9.5 8wt. ( I love 8wts and own four now)

Watch the weather and the first sunny calm day you can get, go!!!!!

Good deal Flap seems like you had a good day!!

Nothing like taking a fish on a flyrod, especially a 42''er. Nice job.

Thanks for the tip Flaptail.

Had planned on being out there last Friday but wind was still hard onshore out of the NE and haven't had a chance to get back out there. As a plan B we did some pond fishing which turned out very well.

You made the right choice there has been and still is some outstanding flyfishing and spinning for trout. I was out again on Monday and yesterday.

Monday we drove the 14 skiff out through the 4 footers and found birds up the ass on the edge of the bar and caught a slew of them on sluggos (just to windy from the north to fly fish plus standing up in the boat was a chore). We were the first boat out to brave the wind and hit the bar edge even though we were the smallest boat out with two guys in it that go 6'-5" and 6'-6".

Last night the wind was way too sharp and going with the tide I had to deplay my sea anchor to hold me steady as I blind casted at the start of the outgoing. Had one fish that would have gone 26 lbs come clean out of the water and suspended as over tea kettle after a sluggo in 6 feet of water. He missed it but boy it was cool to see.
