Trolled live macs off the back for hours and hours the other day, no love. Thank God for all the curious Humpbacks swimming around us to pass the time.

Spent 12 hours swimming Mac's the length of plum island. .then moved into the river as far as 4 miles. ..not...a single chase....Gannetts were diving at day break but it was all small stuff pushing the bait...I saw several boats...most were fly fishing or tossing small tins ..to the small stuff...my sights were set on something larger...I pulled the boat last night...game over for me until ice fishing. ..

CC Bay Blues

Large bluefish are wreaking havoc on peanut bunker in CC Bay. All fish were between 15-18lbs, puking up peanut bunker. 15'-35' of water. Had doubles & triples often for a few consecutive hours. Before this outing, I could count the bluefish I caught this season on one hand. This was last weekend.

All topwater, strikes were ferocious!!

I don't even remember what year, but I"m guessing mid to late 80's, there was a huge peanut bunker year, inside Boston early was insane and then from Cohasset to Plymouth nonstop on massive blues. I remember getting just outside Scituate harbor one Saturday with my friend Pete and as far as you could see in any direction there were birds working. We caught gator blues until are arms couldn't take it anymore and all I can say is, that god I was pouring my own plastic because I think I went through all on board that day. Oddly you don't loose a lot of jigs to the initial strike, but if you get greedy and don't retie byby.

but you know how it goes, we catch fish and should be able to talk about it. All my fish are caught in the canal

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Here's my report....
Haven't wet a line since late June (which was incredibly memorable for all involved ).....heck, I even got to see Clammer and Dennis out on the water, that was the icing on the cake (and Mike didn't even try ramming me with his boat!)
And as much as I'd like to say I'm happy for those who I've read had an incredible summer and now fall, I'm extremely jealous.
This will definitely go down in the books as my least fished year (after puberty )
It was very hard forfeiting my responsibilities after getting numerous phone calls and texts, even during the Canal Stripa-palooza....but priorities take precedence, yep, even over social media bullchit-
A heavy albie presence has also weighed heavily on my mind. I even turned down a few invites from my brother from another mother (Goose)...

Back on point, I do heavily agree ....this thread has been and continues to be entertaining....especially for those of us who haven't been able to get out there. Something we should definitely do annually. NO SPOTS...just reports and tactics that worked when others weren't.

This is the kind of thread that actually reminds me.. that this IS an actual fishing website.

Tight lines everyone....haven't wrapped up the boat yet and still have my seal-skivvies hanging and ready, so maybe I can contribute some in the next few weeks??

......it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Plenty of action with small bass and albies yesterday. Same water today (once the wind swung SW) was near barren (a few small bass via reaction hits on a MS). I blame atmospheric pressure changes when things turn on and off like this. Still not seeing any sizable bass, however. On the plus side all the derby traffic is finally gone. What a relief.

Albies still all over my spots, crazy never caught em this late

Had a great night on ultra light tackle in the back bay flats throwing weightless soft plastics to 22-26” fish in the dark, fish were ultra aggressive

Had a close encounter with a 7-8 foot shark the other day, during the day while albie fishing, which was insane.

bounced around to a few locations in LIS mostly looking for signs of life. never found any bodies of fish (bass, blues, albies) but caught about 30 blackfish- only 2 "keepers" though. we released a few that were less than 1/2" shy of the limit, and then got spot-checked by the DEP officer at the dock.....
