I have the distinct honor of being the only person on the board who's doing worse than BigFish

I voted that, too.

I caught several bass on plugs and jigs with a good success. But it's slow. I have been doign well fluking on the boat. Overally, it's slow. I am not expert on this.

I fish mostly by boat from Boston Harbor on down to the Cape with some shore fishing thrown in. Overall, this year has been one of the worst for me, but that's more attributable to my job preventing me from getting out as much as I'd like. So that being said, I voted that I don't care. I just like being on the water and getting out there regardless. I'm hoping for a good fall.

With the demise of my beloved '91 Dakota(sarcasm) I've been limited on occasion to where I can fish so its been not as good as I had hoped for.But that's all about to change VERY SOON.Going brand new and get to increase my debt even more!

The quality of my keeper size has increased
but I havent been catching as many small ones.

Granted, I havent been going out quite on last years pace... or maybe it just feels like that recently.. ask me in a couple months..

very good year on my boat, though bass fishing is very slow this time of the year! right now it's LOTS of blue fish!!!

I'm hoping to try fishing from the beach in the fall if anyone wants to take me with them in the fall!!!

LETS GO BRANDON

We had the best spring on the Cape in years, but as soon as the weather warmed it shut off. Most of my fishing is from shore. It's funny there is tons of bait around , but no fish. I fished off Fishers Island (Conn.) a couple of weeks ago and killed them, fish everywhere. I have more keepers than last year, but I caught them in the first couple of months. Maybe the fall will be better?
