Sunday Dave we had a great day pulling bars and throwing to a few on the top but we weren't where you were. All small fish but the 3 of us all go to pull on fish multiple times, tag 'em and release 'em. I'm going wednesday to a spot where the boys did well Sunday. You know where.

Great news to hear from various sources that some of the smaller... well, let's say 'more manageable' SBFTs are starting to show in CCB and SWC. I'll be down in Truro for 2 weeks starting Aug 9 and plan to spend some quality time chasing them!!

Got the top-waters, swimmers, metals.... and wasabi!!!

Not CCB but Mass Bay. I am working on the stevedore crew for the gas pipe line job.
I was talking to one of the tug captains and he told me the Lonestar was surrounded with breaking fish yesterday.
That was yesterday today who knows were they are?

Give it up Davey, Charlie's got your number and the stink be upon your black soul bad. Go back to the canal with your peeps.

Repent your sins for the fish Gods to hear, maybe, just maybe.

You look good but it's put up or shut up time. If your gonna talk the talk you gotta walk the walk.

Do that and it's five snaps up in a Z formation big boy, Moby #^&#^&#^&#^& all the way. Charlie will come crashing the bar.

Peace out, Flap

Just west of the SWC was alive today. Fast moving pods of tuna absolutely crushing bait on top with lots of birds. Saw multiple hook ups trolling and one guy solo latch into something large on spinning gear, he was fighting it 30 minutes later!
