At the risk of "well, you own a shop there etc etc etc........"

They closed the south side today, as expected, and if the birds hatch as expected in a few days, most of the north side will be shut by weeks end - no surprises.

L.I. Fish - on the kayak yesterday - which can be launched from just about ANYWHERE - keepers up to 39 inches. Twenty pounders at Coast Guard in Truro - hope I am not spot burning as Coast Guard is only a couple of miles long - but the guy WALKED on, no more than a few hundred yards, no need for an oversand pass.

Sorry for the piss-pot - birds, limited access, mung, seals - the list could go on - are here and elsewhere - but people still manage to catch some nice fish.

Gotta put in your time and fish smart down there! I am planning on spending more time down there this season. Buying a kayak to help get me to some better fishing if the beaches are slow! See you soon Rich...save some fish for me!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Great points and that's always been the case. No vehicles many times is a plus.

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

Just got back from a trip out there with several other guys, before they closed the beaches. We all got multiple keepers, fish to 20 lbs plus. If you know what you're doing, and 9 out of 10 guys on this board do, you can still catch plenty of fish out there.....including in spots that are still reasonably accessable after they shut it down for the birds.

The trick is to keep trying different spots and methods. The fish are there, you just have to figure out how to catch them.

Rich (Fishonnelsons) is right. There are a lot of fish around. The closures are not stopping me, that's for sure.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
