North Shore fall report
Dismal from the beach and rocks.... at least in this town.... Boat is ok, as long as I find the macks. Feel it slipping away by the day. Kind of like the Sox's season... so much promise followed by an absolute nosedive.

Pretty much the same on Cape Ann. Zero blites and most of the "sharpies" have found it a big challenge to get a bass to hit top-water offerings. I have resorted to fishing bait and have done well this week using fresh dead whole mackerel in the local river. There is at least some baitfish there. None on the shoreline or beaches that I have seen or heard about,
Almost time to start gearing up for smelt season!

we had a little kayak get together in the lower cape ann area, guys that trolled eels over night did very well (multiple 20-25 lb class fish) during the day on the tube was slim pickings though, but most still caught something.

I feel like the fall has sucked the past few seasons.. although this year seems to be slightly better in my neck of the woods, still, nothing like 5-6 years ago when peanut bunker blitzes could pop up anywhere.

Blitzes yielding good fish in the mix along Lynnshore Drive to Fishemans Beach. Doc got his season best from the surf today.... Been a long time since I've seen a blitz like this within casting distance of shore. Would be great if it heats up for this weekend with the weather report looking good!

Salem harbor loaded with bait when I was up recently. Some blues cruising around the boat docks too.

Season is over for me. Boy Scout trip to Martha's Vineyard this weekend. Pull the boat from Boston Harbor next Wednesday and then a final weekend on Lake Winnipesaukee and it will be put away in NH for the winter.
September is usually a great month for me, but this year with lousy weather and too much work, it was a bust.

Same thing this morning, but closer to the end of Nahant causeway later. Not a spotburn. If it's happening, everybody can see it. Guys commuting jump out of their cars and jump in with their suits or waders. Just good to see again. Yak guys were doing really well....

You didn't miss anything I fished from 6:30 AM Sunday morning to 1 PM Monday and caught one fish 27 inches
I don't even think the fish have started to run yet, or it's over can someone ask the fish and let me know what they said

Water temps have dropped to mid 50s over this past week. TunalessGreg and I had our boats out with plenty of live macks and four anglers. One hit between all of us. What a difference a week makes. Noreaster due in on Friday with snow in the hills..... Sux. Might be over....Am considering hauling out this week on the midday moon tides. Codfishing tomorrow.

No, No, No ... uhmmm ... I'd prefer that the water stay warm at least until Christmas ... ... I mean that is what I have been asking for ... as I won't be able to fish until sometime near then ... so this so called approaching Noreaster had better turn into a mysterious heat wave or my season is cooked ...  |

Trolled a tube almost the entire length of the neck yesterday with one half-hearted hit to show for it. It's over as far as I'm concerned!
Ran into a bunch of guys trolling livies out there as well with the same results (at least that they told me) You can always tell when people aren't catching though, cause they just seem a lot more interested in how YOU are doing than usual!

Sandy Bay was filthy with macs on Sat. PM, skittering to and fro, all over the surface around the buoy between the breakwater and Straitsmouth, with birds chasing; but I'm sure that it wasn't being motivated by predatory fish. I recall seeing the same thing this time last year. I don't know what drives it, but presumably it has to do with the season.
Anyway, I jigged up several, which was very easy to do, and swam a couple of them for an hour or so off of Land's End, but no joy. In retrospect, I probably should've stayed in Sandy Bay, and grabbed a bunch for freezing and lobstering next summer!
