I'm not sure on the year, I think it was mid to late 70's. I was still in elementary school. It was during the fall run and both my parents were pretty serious about their fishing and we were spending a LOT of time camped out at great point. They run a B&B in the summer, so once fall rolled around we had all the time in the world to fish...
On the day in question we had camped/fished overnight at the point. In the mornings we'd head back to town to go to school, and then they'd come back into town in the afternoon to meet the bus, and we'd head back out.
During the time it took them to leave the beach and pick us up in town, turn around and head back up to the point, there was a mammoth blitz with fish chasing mackerel right out of the water from the lighthouse up to the point.
By the time we got there it was over.
That was the when&where of the 60+lb fish that's been hanging on the wall in Fisher's tackle shop.

This was not from the beach but from the boat. Year 2000 Aug. 14th, hugh hugh school of fish came up on Scorton Ledge during comm. season. It lasted several days but first 2 days many guys limited out, 40 fish per boat. People ran out of worms, mostly tube and worm fishing, and went in and came back out and caught more. After 1st day only small handful knew, 2nd day few more and after 3rd day there were 100's of boats from all over the Cape even from Boston. Looked like a parking lot out there everything from 50' sportfishing to 4' zodiacs. I knew about it the 2nd day but could not make it till the 3rd day which by then was a zoo and not worth it. I just turned off the engine and watched 50 to 75 boats all trolling tube and worm work an area the size of 2 football fields it was pretty comical to say the least. Lucky guys the first 2 days made some serious coin. Paul

I was there and got my dad his first keeper bass. It was madness. Charter boats were rude and cut people off. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
