yep there's some decent fishing here. Sluggos, swimmers, hopkins, bait, etc.
All the colors work here. I have caught fish on EVERYTHING i own. Including 30+lb'ers on Hopkins. Bring big, heavy swimmers for the south shore. It is usually windy in your face. (which is good you see
) Tide flows west in an outgoing and East on the up. Target your holes this way....
If you are going from the beach I suggest taking a look at the South Shore if the wind is anywhere out of a southern direction. It can be VERY rough so pay attention at night AND while driving. You get down in the wash, stuck, on an incoming when it is windy and your life is on the line.
But there are great holes all over the south shore. Look at the tides. South shore is usually about 45-60 mintues ahead of the Harbor tide numbers.
Great Point is fun but requires a pass. they only sell day passes to rental vehicles. A sticker is $100. Bluefish all day. Mix of Stripes and Blues at dusk better late. Patience is the key at the point. The fish move in waves up and down the rip and it is a LONG one. Almost a mile.....
Drifting eels at Brant Point on an outgoing is about as lazy as it gets. Get them at Nantucket Tackle behind the Stop and Shop. THEY'RE $22 BUCKS A DOZEN !
Nantucket IS NOT EXPENSIVE IF YOU HAVE AN AFFORDABLE PLACE TO STAY. Yes, gas is $3 plus a gallon but the mainland isn't far behind. Otherwise the groceries are more but we the middle class cook at home all the time. Going out to so-so restaurants for overpriced burgers isn't something I prefer.
PM if you need any specifics and have a great time. This is an excellent time of the year to fish out here and Basslessmaster has never ever been spotted. The borders are patrolled....
