Thumbs down no joy in muddville

Took the day off from work after hearing all those warm weather reports.I went down the south shore to Powder Point Bridge in Duxbury to find some schoolies but the bridge was closed to all traffic, foot and auto's. Strike one. Then I went to Green Harbor jetty in Marshfield where there was 2 or 3 tugs/barges working on the pier and no fish anywhere. Strike Two. From there went to the spit at the mouth of the North River in Scituate but no luck there either. Strike Three. As soon as I got home the sun came out and it warms up.Still I got the day off and went fishing so, whatever.

Thumbs up

I went out to a local river after work for one hour and landed a 25" fatty on blue jointed plastic minnow . The fish hit it no more than 10
feet from the bank , it was nice to get a larger fish bigger than 15" that put up a little fight.

Fishing the merrimack up river and not a single large fish taken yet. Very few schoolies taken either, no herring, very few shad. This time of year we're usually getting big fish plenty of schoolies and lots of shad. Don't know whats happening but it doesn't look good. It's like a ghost town up here nobody even bothering to fish other than us diehards and we're coming up empty--never seen it like this.

When I'm not fishin I'm thinkin about fishin

I fished down at the mouth of the Merrimac for the first three hours of the drop yesterday and got nothing as well. Saw some big splashes up by the red teepee and thought I'd hit paydirt, looked to be big bass hitting bait on the surface, it was a bit of a ways out but figured I could get there with a 4oz tin. Then I saw about half a dozen shiny little heads pop up, damn seals! They were feeding on something like crazy, though, maybe herring, maybe schoolies, couldn't tell. At least there's signs of life there.

Large bodied fish are here, 50 miles up river, hitting big minnows dragged on a drift in our Ct River. Way too much fun on normal spinning gear. At dusk and dawn, hitting any surface lure that leaves a good wake.
