Cape report!!!
Hi All, took a trip to the cape yesterday hoping to find some big cows moving thru, Didn't happen!!! Hit Chatham 1st, wind was howling, incoming tide. Looked good, alot of seals around, but make no mistake if there are seals there is bait or fish, because that is why they are there. Birds were working but way out on the breakers, need a boat for that.
We worked our way from the steps at the light all the way around the point, nice walk, got alot of exercise, but no fish. We left there and headed for the Cow Yard, no signs of activity, went further up the road to another town way up from the cow yard and there were birds working but definatley unreachable. The wind was howling at about 40 MPH, so we decided to head north. Fished Old Sandwich harbor, wind on the out side was rocking, lot of weeds no good, so we walked the marsh on the inside, tide was coming in and the water was real dirty, NADA once again.
left there and went and fished Scorton Creek, was high tide still incoming and the water was as high as I have ever seen it there, it was over the entire marsh, fished it to no avail.
Headed farther north and hit the narrow's, water was about 10 degrees colder that Chatam, no bait, no fish. Called it a day, got really nice out in the afternoon, but the wind just never stopped. We were going to head up to the Truro area, but just were running out of time. Oh well, was a beautiful day to be out a throw a line despite the wind, and got alot of exercise.
As for the cod fishing in the Harbor it continues to be great. We took Squidmama and The Big Catch out the other day and brought home 26 cod all between 7 and 14 lbs. We probably caught well over 40 but were only keeping the larger fish. Still hanging in the 50 ft water mark over by Nahant.
May have to try and sneak in on the cod trip Sat. But will have to wait and see whats going on, I will let ya know JohnR as soon as I can.
