Fishing Cape Ann

The tuna fleet from Glosta have been on George's this past week bringing back 3 fish each. A couple boats left yesterday and should be fishing by 3 PM today. From Glosta it is an 18-23 hour trip one way depending on knots.

A couple of fish were caught on the NW corner last week too. Ipswich Bay is loaded with whiting...tuna should be showing up there soon if not already there.

Marked a few

In the bay over the weekend, not takers. Also did not see any surface activity. Hearing rumors that someone hooked into a GW a few miles off Salisbury, but have not been able to confirm. There were plenty of whiting out there on Sat.

last sat i was anchored up in the fleet off isle of shoals and i heard the chatter on the radio about the person that supposedly hooked the gw. Supposedly it was a 9' and had a sat tag from the cape in it....
tuna started off good , we were marking as soon as we pulled up then at slack we had a giant busting macs all around the boat for a few min but no hook up. You gotta be dam luckey to get bit there were the most macs ive seen all year under my boat all day.It was ridiculess. i came with a ton of frozen macs to chum with chummed hard all day and left with more than i came with.....i saw no one hook up
