I have my fingers crossed but I think this is the year we see some inshore SBF tuna action.
Summer runs of tinker mack's were common in my youth in the harbor. Used to jig them at the dock or causeway... they make AWESOME fluke bait...

That's it, I am moving to the south shore! While the local river is chock-o-block full of baitfish, the harbor and oceanfront have been showing no such signs! Someone will debate this I am sure, but Cape Ann has been cursed the last few seasons. Fall "Runs" seem to run right past us and blitzes have been rare occurrences as well.

maybe the boat guys will debate it, but if you are fishing from shore or near-shore in a kayak the fishing has not been good..
last week I had macks and pollock no problem, trolled them all over creation without a sniff. A couple of weeks before that though I had multiple fish to 20lbs so who the hell knows!

agreed. Last 2 years have been all but the worst I have ever seen

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
