Had a great boat day a couple years ago with my brother at Scorton ledge trolling tube and worm. Definately a blitz.

"A cove"? Like Tarpaulin? how many coves are there?....spot burner!

Just kidding Salty...by the way, I got some needle fish from you and they PRODUCE! Nice plugs!

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.

no spot burning the cove is setting ancor next to the rock to the s by the light and chumming in the bass
or going way up inside amolst the middle of the bay and casting to shore
but the rip as you leave is better at times

We slowly motor into the cove....8' of water...I throw an olive/white popper...as soon as it landed on the water you woulda thought someone threw a freakin bomb, the water just absolutely ERUPTED with fish....ACRES AND ACRES of bass started rolling on top. OVER 5 hours until the tide changed we had 15-25 lbs bass on poppers. My freakin arm still hurts from that day

Not another boat drove by all day.

I don't think I've EVER had so much fun. Every time the tide would push us out and we would see less fish I'd motor back into the skinny stuff and we'd be back into fish.
How much for that popper?

By shore, late 80's Peggoty Beach in Scituate, high noon I damn near died when I pulled up to eat my sub at my lunch break. The entire cove was white water and everywhere you looked there were jumbo bunker trying to immitate a flying fish and for good reason. It was a bass over 25 lbs or a blue over 12 every cast until I couldn't physically catch any more, all on atom poppers. I've got a 42 lber over my head from the day and I caught probably a dozen pushing that mark, and dropped one I think was high 50's maybe even 60+ at my feet. It was the most incredible fishing blitz I've ever seen and only one other %$%$%$%$ eating grin wearing angler present to share it with me. I did call a friend after leaving the still on going blitz and he worked it for a couple more hours.

By boat, about 3-4 years back, Strawberry Cove off Cohasset mass, alternating with another un-named cove in Hull (John R knows were), two bitzes on the same day on bunker trapped in both coves by two separate large schools of 15-20lb fish. Every cast was a keeper, not 30-40 lbers mind you, but when you tally 100 keepers in day between you and your partner, that's one hell of a day. All came on 5-1/2" ledgerunners in smoke/glitter, the perfect match for the 3-4 inch bunker both schools had trapped in those coves.

When I'm old and feeble, there well still be a few memories I've not lost, these two will be among them.
