I will probably do the canal one morning but I like fishing beaches ( but I do not fish at night, just first light) so the sandy neck sounds enticing as well. Going to MV to play tourist ( I will be one) on the Saturday, hope Obama is gone by then.

Great Neck, Scorton's Creek drop (though will be mid drop and for the love of god don't fall off the edge )

Bass River as mentioned above. Nobska.

Just got back from 10 days in West Dennis, overlooking the BR Bridge and heading back up tomorrow for an undetermined period of time (poor, old, stubborn, SOB Dad fell and he couldn't get up, so between his hospital stay, modifying his house some, not doing what his doctors say, plus the weekly chemo, he needs me around; couple years premature of the plan to declare Washashore status, but I'll take it).
Mostly nights on Bass River have a lot of noise, sounds like tail slaps, but I haven't connected with anything yet. Small blues around for fun, seen people catching scup and small fluke, decent quahog dancin' at the end of Ferry Street this year. A cousin with a boat got some big blues off Horseshoe Shoals, and another cousin the same at Bishops, but they said it was hit or miss lately. Didn't have a chance to hit WD Beach, but there's guys there tryin'.
(I thought I might glimpse an SB sticker on my daily CC Hospital runs, as I'm pretty sure I'm short cutting through the Guppy "Hood", but nothing to report there, yet, either).

Lots of sound advice here. WD beach has been a bust last few years unfortunately, used to get silly bluefish blitzes down there but no more. The north side is really where you want to focus, either that or get on the canal like mentioned above, this time of year that's probably you're best bet at a big fish from shore. Good luck!

something clever and related to fishing
