Cape Ann Happenings???

Been a couple of weeks since I have been out on the boat. Taking a few kids out this weekend and figured I would check in to what see has been happening. Last time out I was still finding macs outside the harbor and finding bass/blues in the usual haunts. Also did well on some groundfish on southern Jefferies. Scouting for BSB has proven uneventful. Any 'general' reports? Anyone still trying for flatties in Glo harbor?

Not in gloucester, but getting into fish in southern cape ann and south, nothing over 20lbs though... you boat guys may have a better chance of finding large if you can chase the bait around. Lots of reports of sporadic blitzes of schoolies chasing around small bait up and down the north shore.

I've seen 10lb bass inhale macks pushing 3 lbs...never too big....

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Again, I appreciate the updates. Just good to know the whole live mac is still happening. it will be fun to see these kids with a bunch of mac at the end of their line and then converting them to something bigger.
