Bass Are Biting on Beach Point
It’s Almost Dangerous Out There With Hooks A-flying
Considerable impetus was given to the most exciting sea bass fishing season in the history of Provincetown when Clarence Nelson of Nelson’s Market pulled in a fighting 16-pounder Sunday night out at Beach Point, thus proving that anyone with patience and fortitude has a chance at the luck.
Everyone here agrees that more fishermen than ever have been attracted to this part of Cape Cod on the chance of landing the gamey striped bass and out at Beach Point, the favorite place right now, it is becoming a little dangerous what with the flying hooks and leads. Along the rip-rap, when the tide is right, dozens of cars will be found parked and away out beyond the flats can be seen the forms of the fishermen.
George Baker, so far, seems to be the high-liner of all the fishermen and he said today that he had caught 54 bass, the largest being 18 pounds. Most of the fishing now, he added, is along the inside or bay and he thinks the fishing along the back shore will start about the second week in October. Fishing should be good through next month and it may extend into November.
A little "Back in the Day" fish report...How would you say that it compares to today?
