Bait!

[bart]

My shore-caught bone came on a live mack last year Lol!

In the past week I've fished RI and the Cape and I honestly don't think I've ever seen so much bait in my life, either.

What I've seen...mackerel, pogies, peanuts, bay anchovies, spearing, squid, juvie hickory shad, needlefish, sand eels, and I'm sure I'm forgetting others.

Same here, plus juvenile herring. There seems to be a lot of cold pockets of water moving around as well. This past weekend was the best weekend I have had since spring and even better than most of those days. Only wish I didn't leave my riggies in the car in the garage since yesterday morning. Walking into a wall of stank dead eels when you open your garage door will sure wake you up before work.
