I fished for an hour this morning at the mouth of the Merrimac River
and did not catch anything!!! Talked to 3 other guys down there and none of them caught anything!!! Cool with a strong Northeast wind!!!
Fishing boats could not get out!!!
Will try again on Tuesday or Wednesday AM when the weather warms up!!! Hope the fish will be there then!!!

I had to pick up something at Surfland so I stopped by and chucked a white jig for a half an hour. No joy. |

Fished down on the Cape this past Sunday with Bill and Jules ...hit a number of spots and did quite well ... slammed fish up to 26-27 inches (maybe longer if I stepped on it) on Big Fish's 1-oz pencil, as was Bill ... it was a great time ... surprisingly I did nothing on a jig, but was taking them on top ... go figure, I probably wasn't as focused on the bottom action as I should have been.
But they are around down there and this weather is making it even better.

This time of year I do better in the evenings as opposed to mornings. YMMV |

Are the sand eels in tight or further out? Also, any seals prowling around? The reason I ask about the eels is that last year there were many suspended in 30-40 ft, but very few in close and burying in the sand. |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Me to, I hate paying for bait. I used the pencil I got from you and it is real nice, I am going to our Herring run with it tomorrow and see if there are any bass that may want to bite it  |

no joy in muddville
Took the day off from work after hearing all those warm weather reports.I went down the south shore to Powder Point Bridge in Duxbury to find some schoolies but the bridge was closed to all traffic, foot and auto's. Strike one. Then I went to Green Harbor jetty in Marshfield where there was 2 or 3 tugs/barges working on the pier and no fish anywhere. Strike Two. From there went to the spit at the mouth of the North River in Scituate but no luck there either. Strike Three. As soon as I got home the sun came out and it warms up.Still I got the day off and went fishing so, whatever.

I went out to a local river after work for one hour and landed a 25" fatty on blue jointed plastic minnow . The fish hit it no more than 10
feet from the bank , it was nice to get a larger fish bigger than 15" that put up a little fight.

Fishing the merrimack up river and not a single large fish taken yet. Very few schoolies taken either, no herring, very few shad. This time of year we're usually getting big fish plenty of schoolies and lots of shad. Don't know whats happening but it doesn't look good. It's like a ghost town up here nobody even bothering to fish other than us diehards and we're coming up empty--never seen it like this.

When I'm not fishin I'm thinkin about fishin
