A lookdown! Netted one of those in the Carolinas back in the 70s. So now they're up here, eh? Ahem, and now it's in the 80s in October.
No, there's no evidence for global warming-it's a Chinese hoax!

water was pretty warm last weekend - with air temps in the 70's this past week (where I am) ... gotta wonder if that's gonna stick around for a while.

Boy if anyone has kids or grandkids in the Plymouth mass area, the inner bay is just loaded with bait and schoolies and you can't help but catch. Launched at Stevens Field at 10:30, about 50 fish later the yak was back on the trailer at 1pm and I was heading home. I could have stayed and caught as many as I wanted, but it was hot and I'd had my fun on freshwater gear. All on a 6" bubblegum jerkbait, fished weightless on top with a 5/0 owner 90 degree hook and screw lock bait holder. I had to trim the tip once, but with small bass they last.

Like the fishing we had at a certain winter spot you know of, but all topwater and crazy. When those toggy start biting you let me know, I'd take a drive to have a shot at bringing home 6 of those yummy fish. I want to get out once with you before the season ends.

Got to the harbor this am around 6. Big peanut blitz all around my moored boat. Caught several small bass to make the dog happy. Flew down the islands, sunrise behind me. Beautiful morning. Arrived at "my" spot only to find a derby #^&#^&#^&#^& anchored throwing live pogies. Cut in down tide and made a drift. Had a 20ish # fish eat a danny 50 yards along. Was missing an entire 1/2 of its upper lip from an old hook injury. Fish looked fat and healthy regardless. I sent it on its way. Proceeded to cast for the next 6 hours into some of the best striped bass water in the world. Caught one more schoolie. No bait, no albies, no birds, no small fish. Ugh. Returned to the harbor. Bass were no longer showing but plenty of cormorants were still working. My skiff was covered with an inch of guano. Double ugh. Still beats the canal.

Large bluefish are wreaking havoc on peanut bunker in CC Bay. All fish were between 15-18lbs, puking up peanut bunker. 15'-35' of water. Had doubles & triples often for a few consecutive hours. Before this outing, I could count the bluefish I caught this season on one hand. This was last weekend.

All topwater, strikes were ferocious!!

I don't even remember what year, but I"m guessing mid to late 80's, there was a huge peanut bunker year, inside Boston early was insane and then from Cohasset to Plymouth nonstop on massive blues. I remember getting just outside Scituate harbor one Saturday with my friend Pete and as far as you could see in any direction there were birds working. We caught gator blues until are arms couldn't take it anymore and all I can say is, that god I was pouring my own plastic because I think I went through all on board that day. Oddly you don't loose a lot of jigs to the initial strike, but if you get greedy and don't retie byby.
