My guess is it will be filled by late August regardless of what it looks like now. The reporting always lags behind by several days. Even though the reporting looks light right now, I always wait until the season closes to make any judgement. If it goes longer than August you could make a strong case for stock depletions starting to impact the catch numbers. Every week is different, some good and some not.
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
Everything is about 2-3 weeks behind from last year.
Here it is getting close to aug and we are still jiggin up macs in Boston harbor, normally there are long gone by now.
No worries
Everybody in your area is fishing Chatham George. Although we have plenty of pogies in Buzzards Bay,the large concentrations of bass are hard to find.Lots of fish off Race Point too,untouchable.The NJ bite is over now and it is between Watch Hill and Montauk where you can find large concentrations of large lice covered fish.I would think Block Island is a good bet too.
Here on Cape Ann we have been getting $4.50 per lb. or better.
Fishing here has been good, not great, is slow on the commercial end. Any body catching 30 fish around here are behind the draggers when they haul back or they are being passed off. Where are the enviromentals? If they catch one they put a scare into those doing that.
If you put your time in around here trolling mac's you will get an average of 12-15 fish for sale. Makes for a good pay check.
