Good Night Fishing
Hey there. New to S-B here but wanted to report a decent night of fishing. Headed out of Scituate last night in the rain (miserable) at about 6 PM. Figures it's been beautiful every evening all week and last night was my only chance to get out all week. We loaded up with fresh herring and some eels and headed on up to the Minot Light area. We've got a few favorite spots around the rocks. We started out chumming and chunking the herring, then at dusk, started slinging the eels along with the chunks (working the eels and rods with chunks in the rod holders). Well, it started off slow but things really heated up around 2 hours after the slack tide. My buddy hooked into a 28"er. Then I immediately got into a 37" fish. They were followed by a 36" and a 34". All fairly heavy fish. This went on for a while with about a dozen bass total all the way up to 39". Things slacked off about 10:30 or so and we decided to pack it in and head home happy with our night out. Took pics of the fish but released all!
Going to be headed down for some Bonita this weekend ( Sat or Sun not sure which day yet). Heard they're showing up now so we'll give that a shot. I'll be reporting back with future catches.
