I agree with Bigfish totally....Where have they gone? Or maybe they havent arrived yet...Hopefully...Even the Bluefish have been few and far between..I fish the southern part of the Cape...I got down to South Cape Beach sat morning around 4:30 a/m..Fished until 9:00...&^%& NADA..everything seemed perfect..Tide ,wind,dawn...NADA

The chatter on channel 68 leads me to believe nothing is happening in Cape Cod Bay, my buddy caught 1 40# bass but in all honesty the fishfinder was not marking any fish and the spot we stopped in was just a stab and we only caught that 1. We have fished CCB in 4-5 different area's since and made 4 different trips and have only a couple of dinks to show for it.

yeah, im catching blues all the time. i need to go to another state. also, its too humid outside now.

Everyone knows there are no bass till July on Cape Cod, I don't even bother going to Chatam or above till mid July!

I agree as of late....had an OK spring at some of my local spots..but I'm not seeing much action either....been fishing Fairhaven a few times...went to the Outer Cape...and the Canal...all in the last say 3 weeks.....not much to show for it. Hope it gets a little better out there....this weather has to help a little I would think.

This year has been better than last so far. Ive only gotten skunked once this year. By this time last year i was into a lot of blues and unfortunatly i have yet to lose an eel or a dozen to them.

Their all still in NJ.Huge pods of bunker an constant south winds from the deeper waters keepin the temps in the low 60's an the bass hangin around.in the last 2 weeks many fish over 30 have been taken the boats are just killin em an us surf guys get em when the push in.50 # plus fish seem to be more scarce this yr.I know of only a few. The last 2 yrs many where taken.
Don't make me come up there an spank ur fish.I may stop in RI an beat up on the striped ones there first.

Your not fishing MV are you? My take is bass fishing is pretty good in MA. We didn't get the big spring wave of fish where it was really hot for a week then a slow pick afterwards but there are plenty of fish around from the beach. Instead, it has been more of a steady trickle of fish this year. With new fish arriving each week. I have had a good number of fish > 20# and my largest so far was 42.5 this season. Lots of smaller fish just over the keeper marks as well to keep it interesting. We are getting fish almost every night. Somenights are better then others. Only a couple of what I would call really excellent nights but its been fine IMO. Boat guys are doing very well with loads of 30's and 40's on live scup.

If you want bass you need to fish nights. Spend time with your family during the day...there will be plenty of time for sleep when you are dead (or go back to work

)

MV and Nantucket are striper disneylands.

They are not the hit-or-miss worlds of the Cape, RI, and Long Island (noticed I left out CT cuz that's mostly "miss.").

I have NEVER gone to MV/N and not caught fish, even during crappy Wx.

I would gladly give my left nut to have a shack where you guys are fishing right now.

Nothing stable around the Winthrop area as well. Atleast for me. One day a 31lber the next skunk. One day a dozen 10-15 lbers the next day or night nothing. Last year, July, August and until the first nor'easter showed cows on every couple of trips. That was a good year. Hoping for the same this year. I still talk to New Jersey folk who are having their way with cows. Lets hope for the best.

This is the time for trolling eels for me. Sonic booms from this weekends fireworks curbed my enthuisiasm for night runs in the yak.

I hope next week, peace in quiet and the new moon all play into big fish.
