2018 has been a great year... schoolies arrived last month and the fishing has been hot everywhere ever since.... blue back herring are in the river in numbers like the 70's and guess who's come to dinner.. last night( every night this week) I found big girls dripping with lice...lots of them in old haunts they haven't been in in 10 years.. and from what is being posted just about everyone is getting in on them in a variety of places..it's like old times.. I'm really excited about the night time high tides next week... here is one of 11 ( most the same size 40 - 45") I took from 7 until dark.. I haven't used an eel yet... thin profile plugs trolled or cast to surfacing fish and jigs tipped sluggos are doing big business when the fish sound.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Nice to see these large fish bypass the canal gauntlet. I hope they go home the same way. |

How about a fish pic with a covering of panko? Peg wanted fish, I told her I'd be back in two hours, one of the perks of living in south Plymouth during the sea bass run. Left the house at 12:30 and was back by 3 with a nice limit of sea bass and I think they were the tastiest of the year so far. Nothing like BSB rolled in egg and covered in a mix of panko and Chef Paul's blackened red fish magic.

Got Stripers... I will give that recipe a try.....looks tasty!
When I built my boat six years ago, my focus was to target striped-bass. But the sea-bass fishery has really gotten my attention. My family, including my 98 year old MIL, who sits down for dinner with us every night.... agrees that black sea-bass taste and texture is better than striped bass.
I still fish from shore a few times a week, and do pretty well catching stripers, but now its mostly C&R.
My son's girlfriend with her first ever sea-bass.

I have yet to even think about stripers, the window for none top sea is brief and in a week from now they will start to drop out to cooler water and I like to fill my freezers with vacuum sealed sea bass and tog for good eating all winter. Cracks me up when I see in one of the latest OTW articles, that they state sea bass don't freeze well, I suspect they are idiots or not doing it right. Thawed out in their bags slowly in cold water, it's just like fresh all year round; I still have two bags of tog to go from last October. You don't need a lot of Chef Paul's, I dust the top of the panko I have on a small plate then stir it around with a fork to mix before pressing the egg coated filets in, then the key is a hot hot skillet of canola oil. |

sure is George... I ran onto a pod of bass 5 miles off the beach on my way back from haddock fishing Saturday.. there had to be acre of busting fish pushing tinker mackerel out of the water... all 18 - 20lbs... at one point I took the hooks off a 6" pencil and just let them knock it around.. it was more fun ( and legal) than catching them... best part... not a boat in sight!.. those fish are headed to Maine! |

It is refreshing that the first push seemingly went around, but the truly large haven’t even arrived yet. Will be interesting to see where they make landfall once they get tired of chasing mojos. Hopefully they’re smart like their younger brethren and will avoid getting stuck in the face multiple times with magic swimmers
