We're Back!!!!!! MV Report

[Fisherwoman]

Well hello everybody, hope you are all doing well. Greg sorry to hear about Karen, I hope she is doing OK, We will say a prayer for her.

Well MV was really tough this year, the numbers of albies were way down as compared to the last several years. But as long as you hooked into a few life was very good. We had some good days and some very slow days. Caught most of the Albies on a dropper fly, even got one double header on the teaser rig caught by Joe Ciampa himself, what a sight to see. The fish seamed very finicky this year as all they were feeding on was very tiny sand eel's the smallest I have ever seen over there.

We took the boat out one afternoon, and sat on acres of albies just about a mile off of Cape Poge light, that just wouldn't feed, threw everything, got NADA, did pick up a few small blues.

As for blues, there are rats from hell everywhere. caught alot of those. Some nights we were bass fishing you just couldn't keep them off your hook, but at least they were pulling the other way.

Took a charter out 2 days before we left, caught a few 8-9 lb blues and a few really nice 40-42" bass but sent them back to the fish god's as we were looking for 30 + lber's, but was a good day out there.

Never in my life have I seen the lack of bait on MV that we witnessed this year, was very creepy. Had a few bad blows and lost alot of beach off of Wasque!!! Was very sad to see how much has been lost over the course of a year.

Not alot of sizable albies this year. Did hear of a guy catching a 12.97 lb albie on a fly rod a few days before we left. That's one awesome fish. Mackerel were in very heavy the fist 2 weeks caught quite a few and froze them for dad. Most of them ran in the 4 lb range which is quite a nice size for here. That being Spanish Mackerel!!!!

So whats everybody else been up too?Whats the scoop the local seen. Any fish in Boston Harbor, I hear Rhody is heating up quite nicely, I guess with all thats going on the Power plants are out of the question.

Wish I had more too report, but thats why they call it fishing. Also saw The Big Catch & Squidmama, they are having a pretty good year as Rollie caught a Bonito boat that took him a second and Squidmama took a weekly bluefish and was a runner up with a bass when we left but don't know how she made out. I hope she kicked some butt.

So What the SCOOP, going out Thurday on the boat and need some info!!!!!
