Cod......From The Beach

[numbskull]

Nantucket has, or at least had, the best white perch fishing in the world and now is the time to do it.

i've caught one or two from shore while targeting stripers early in the year the last couple seasons so there are some out there. Last year I got a keeper on a pink rigged sluggo in 4' of water - certainly unexpected.

I caught 8-10 pollack from the beach on outer cape in may about 5-6 years ago. Big school mixed right in with bass, right up in the wash.

Could never happen like that now with the seal population.

really? tell me more please
I am going there April 14th -15th
maybe that still gives me time? to give that a try from shore someplace

I think most of the world record (or perhaps flyrod record) white perch came from Nantucket 10-15 years ago after the similar white perch fishing in my area (Falmouth) had disappeared. I believe most came out of a pond near Sankaty (http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=...layer=DRG&s=50) but there are several other tempting ponds down Miacomet/Madaket way. The guys getting them were fishing from shore, if I remember correctly. If I was over there in April I'd certainly consider taking waders and giving it a try. The tackle stores could probably steer you better than I.
