Went out with my son and brother in-law this morning. Some one told me there wer some Mac's hanging around?? I wanted to get some more time on the new set up to make sure all was well, So off we went. No bait just all my trackle and a few Mac jigs. Well No Mac's to be had!!
We decided to go inside qwith the rest of the crew and see if we coild not jig something?? Well my son was using a 4 oz bucktail I made over the winter and was able to jig up 2 bass a 27" and a 23" brother in-law was able to catch every darn sand shark from here to Boston

Hey we are bass fishing I said to him. I got 1 bass 24"
Just a day out to screw off before the Fluke season opens. Had a nice day all was well and the boat ran good!!

What more could you ask for

There have been a lot of Basking Sharks in Cape Cod Bay. Maybe that's what you saw. I saw one off Dennis that must have gone near 25 feet. Absolutely huge fish.

That's just what I was thinking Basking Shark,I did not get close enough to eye ball it.
