Use a sick day tomorrow
Here are the forecasted winds for E. Falmouth at 6am tomorrow:
From the Southwest at 1 mph 
My buddy who sails by the fish/fisherman described small fish with pointy tails diving right out of the water just outside Lewis Bay, with the water at 78, I'm hoping I get my first bonito or false albacore. |

No Bonitio or false albacore there, but you can lace into some HUGE schools of medium sized (3-6 lbs.) bluefish. Crazy action.

Don Corleone, without disrespecting the Family, I believe there are bonito and false albecore in the vineyard sound. We'll see, I'll post how I do. It might be a bit early, but there is only one way to find out. I'll be out from dark till 9am.

I've seen a few, but I was out there on Friday, and all I saw were schools of blues. I was hoping for some of those goodies as well.

No luck, went from waquoit > hedge fence > middle ground > falmouth harbor > waquoit. Some birds diving, but not many, saw splashes of fish breaking water, I'd guess blues, but the conditions were great and the boat needed to be run. The saying still holds true, "bad day fishing beats a good day at work".

Yep, they're here... still hiding out but they be here...
Gotta chase their movements really, too damn quick to say where they'll be tomorrow...
Cheers
Ted

Yes the bonito are all over vinyard sound. We had a great day today chasing them from 8.00 till about 1.00 when we had to go over to Cuttyhunk to rec. the new windows for the house. They were everywhere you looked we had lots of hook ups and lots of quick releases  |

SB most of the action came on small rattle traps in a offwhite color with stripes. Did not think to try the small smackit poper but they say that bonito hit topwaters good also. Will have to try it next time |
