Get your bait wicked early in the morning, spend more time on productive mornings and save those NW High Pressure afternoons for napping. Stack the deck in your favor |

i feel your pain , i went out in my boat friday and saturday morning , got some macks and fished all my favorite places , nothing , i tried fishing outside ,inside and even up a river and only had 1 dropped fish for all that work . i don't know if it's because of the cold spring or what ? but according to my records we should be knee deep in 20-30# by now up in the boston area  |

I usually leave for fishing (on the weekends) after the pub. I'm on the water by 3, 3:30 the latest. |

I hope to hell you WORK at the pub. Not a good visual of you driving to your boat and then driving your boat after being in a a pub till closing |

So you're applying a strategy that has worked in the past but is not working this year?
Easy deduction: You're in the wrong spot.
If you can't figure it out, maybe you need to make friends with someone who has a pulse on the fish or follow them - by all accounts the boat guys who are in the know are nailing them this year.

Where did you see me? If it was around where RIJ was then you know how far South I went.....
I'll tell you, it was wild out there this morning. 4 footers around Warwick Light at 7:00 AM. I hear that the White Ghost came in this afternoon with 6 to 8 footers. |

Yep. It was right there... that area was unbelievably productive for me last year at this time--both with pogies and plugs--this past weekend I only had one small bass play with a pogie. I was with my wife and parents and gave a wave, but I think your were on the phone. We have a Sea Hunt too--the Triton 212. |
