heading out to wally beach today, anyone know if the fish there are safe to take home, everyones been telling me not to bring fish home from there because of the dirty water?

I'm told people are clamming at Wolly. I haven't seen it with my own two eyes but who knows. I think Boston Harbor in general is a hell of allot cleaner than people give it credit for.

Spme of the flats were open last year for clamming. One section, I think at the yacht clubs was closed for it.

Quincy/Boston Harbor fish are fine for eating.

fish are fine to eat from there. ive eaten a few fish from there myself and only noticed a few side effects.
just kidding.
dont know how good youll do with the sun and all the wind there today.

did you have any luck?

I have been putting in my time during the last week. Very few fish and very small at that

But it still beats sitting home.

Haven't seen a keeper caught there yet.

no luck at all, its hard being a beginner, didnt know where to go down there, we ended up at like some old light house or something, it was down past the entrance for marina bay, might head out tomorrow to fore river or back river, gotta fix my car first though, blew a bearing yesterday in the tire

didnt really know what to use either, went to walmart and bought some crippled hearring, some jigs w/bucktails, some shads, should i be using bait instead this early in the season??

Christian · 05-17-2003, 09:18 PM

soft plastic shad bodies on 1/2oz jigheads. spots, ill pm ya. definitly stay away from the sun when fishing there. night high tides are best.

JohnR · 05-17-2003, 09:24 PM

Get small jig heads and plastic shad bodies like Christian said, go down to Blacks Creek - south end of Wally beach at the top of the tide and for the first couple hours of the drop - cast back & fro and you'll often find bass there...

Locdog you were at Squaw rock. It's too early for that location. Like John R said Blacks creek is where you want to go. Instead of turning at the D&D, stay on Quincy Shore Drive, go past all the clam shacks. Last lot on the right, before the bridge that goes over the creek. Cross the drive, and fish the creek.
