going out tomorrow!!!

It's the annual Lanes Cove BlueFish Tournament off of Cape Ann!!! Normally there will be about 300 people participating!!!

Depending on how many people :

1st place is around 1800-2000 bucks!!!

2nd place could be around 1200 bucks!!!

3rd 600-700 bucks!!!

Sign up is between 6-9am by boat or car in Lanes Cove!!!!


Weigh in is between 3:30 -4pm by the clock over the scale!!!

There are no late weigh- ins; you won't be able to weigh your fish 1minute after 4:00pm!!!!

$10.00 per person fishing!!!

Not bad for what you could win!!!!

I'll be fishing between Thatchers and the Rockport breakwater and Halibut Point green can!!!

Behind the rockport break water is known as the Flatlands usually but not always you can get some good fishing!!!

If anybody is trailering a boat the best place to launch is Granite Pier the cost is about 20 bucks for the day!!! And that is in the heart of good fishing !!! you can go north, east or west in the open ocean!!!!

Sorry to hear it. Did you happen to sea the winner, how long, how much?

I'm on vacation this week, so I'll be going just about every morning, and the best part is the marine forcast is supposed to pretty good, 2 - 4 most the week.

Hope to see you out there
