Pole 280 to 220

You mean to tell me there are other places to catch fish other than the canal. I wonder why I can't get my truck to drive past it?

Although it has been mostly barren the last several years, the outer Cape from Race Point to the Wellfleet line back beaches.

Someday someway they will be back, until then I fish where the fish are but my heart longs for the Truro sands.

Why even try.........

I fish from the Hill, to the tail in the Bay. I do well.

Be encouraging, not discouraging

One type of place, well no, one place actually

At first I was thinking it's not one place, but more like one type of place. That would be a long walk with nobody there but water, and hopefully a couple of fish. Then I realize it was a long walk, with maybe a couple of folks you know along the way or at the destination, with water and a couple of fish. Oh yeah, with a porch with a bunch of folks you know and good smokes (gars) and something to good to drink that warms you up (scotch), and stories of the nights' fishing and younger days' debauchery (Cutty). Especially if one the sons come along (not necessarily for the scotch, well OK, scotch too then for the full rights of passage). Bob H.

Out all the places I have surf fished...the best stretch of beach for the plug aficionado (not the bottom dwellers) is the south side of BI. Anyplace from Old Harbor Point to SW point. To me that is the ultimate NE surf casters nirvana. It combines the best of everything. Location, structure, relative size, access, big water and low crowds and natural beauty. Yeah, other places have better single attributes that make them attractive...ie, Montauk, Cutty, MV, and many parts of the cape have some very appealing aspects but their drawbacks make them less ideal...but Block I and in particular the south side of block has the best combined attributes IMO.

Anywhere there's a large concentration of fish available. For me, every place has its own unique charm.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
