Thumbs down

Listen boys, I only tell it straight and the fishing has s@#$%^ the big one out there this year. Biggest fish was one loaner at the beginning of July that was 47 inches long and very fat but was the result of fishing all night ( 5pm to 6 am) with only 3 hits. I have been fishing up there a few nights a week and out of the last four weeks I have caught maybe a dozen bass (small) and a couple rat blues. Last Friday night I was at Race Point at half tide down to low water and had the place to myself which was very weird. One guy with bait rods pulled early in the tide and left then it was just me. Two hours into the incoming they showed for an hour and then split as fast as they had showed, bing bam boom and gone. It will get better but I think we may be in for a October like last year where they just didn't hang around. Better fishing west from the canal to Barnstable. Sandy Neck may be the place to have a ticket for unlikely as that may sound. Gotta be able to work long hard hours for them or you will go fishless. If you cannot fish straight from sundown to sunup non-stop you might as well stay home. An hours catnap and you might miss the whole deal. The fish are not paying attention to the rules of tide dependency as they once used to.

Why even try.........
