Where I live its been a very tough year untill now when the blues are starting to come in. They certainly are a welcome sight when you cant buy a bass.

NorthShore has been very good for couple of weeks. Big pogies still around Salem. Herring chunks (when you can get it) working well around bold shore structure. Nice after a brutal May and June.

There ARE Bass around. I won't burn any spots and I won't say precisely how big the fish were but I will say I am talking about fish that are above "keeper" size. If you put your time in, and I mean every night for 3 or 4 hours in the middle of the night, you will find Bass.
Since last Monday I have had 5 fish 15+ #, 5 other fish in the 32 to 34" range and one absolute monster that I lost after 10 minutes on a straightened 3/0 3X xtra stong treble. In addition Friday morning I found about 100 fish all breaking on something(?) but they wouldn't touch anything including eels, Sluggos, red gills, big eye teasers and all the usual swimmers/needles. I believe there was a crab hatch going on.
And yes, I have a full time job and go to work everyday. It all comes down to how serious you are about catching fish. I have probably missed 4 or 5 nights intentionally since May. I only fish what I refer to as "the Black Hours". I sleep a couple of hours before I go and a couple of hours when I get home.
Of course, I can do this because my kids are grown and my wife doesn't really care what I do while she sleeps as long as it doesn't disturb her.

So, if you guys realy want fish, they are out there and catchable. It's called putting your time in.

No boat, back in the suds.
