Even though the conditions may suck most of the time we prefer to go out east of Chatham. We tried the CCBay thing and saw tons of fish but they tended to be a lot smaller and very fussy. The water in CCBAY has a slightly different tinge to it and not quite as clear and we like to troll 30lb. class and various rigs rather than drift and wait for them so you could cast a fly or a tin at them. We have had a few exciting run off with fish that were bigger and meaner but the 8/0 didn't hold or get a good set on 'em. One thing peculiar to the east is that when we set the first bar out on the high flier we usually get a run within minutes.
Gotta go way southeast now to get a really good day but the conditions were not really conducive to making a 30 mile ride that way and we didn't have all day to spend so we fished the Crab. Some codfish are starting to show back on the ledge now to. So as Ophelia goes by we intend to go southeast a couple more times before bagging the tuna ops and go back to bassing.
Van see JOSH at CMS in New Bedford. He custom makes a lot of our rigs for us in varying colors and I get my squids there to make up my bars. The guy is a genius when it comes to making up daisys and rigs. He will do it while you wait. Great service there from Charlie and the boys.
