Anyone Catching Anything?

Going out in Chatham on Friday, anybody catching anything close to there, no need for specifics. Will have the bass and tuna gear with me.

Friend Eric Stewart of the hook up in Orleans on Facebook.
Everything you want to know about the Chatham bite.
Seems its either off the hook crazy double digit action or pretty slow from day to day.

I'll be swinging for the fences on Sunday, I gave a full day's effort last friday with bait jigged up in the deep water east of the bank, saw a few marks on the finder, but no dice. It was interesting to get a mackeral on a butterfly jig in 80ft, he replaced a hearty whiting. That was a big mistake as the mack made a big tangle with the ballon, so lesson learned for me was macks and ballons don't mingle, maybe a weight near the hook would work .....

On the way back in there were 20 or so boats doing the run and gun chasing little guys ~40" on top under birds just east of the beach house.

Had the 30 second run off of death yesterday. Got my leader back in pieces.

Some sort of toothy creature. Never got a good look.

Went out last Friday and caught some nice bass and threw back dozens of bluefish. Went looking for tuna, but saw nothing. Bummer.
