The fishing has been really good, didn’t think I’d want to be going at it as hard as I have been. Slots around every almost every night and often during the day. Congrats on that 40’’er, great fish for May. I lost a pretty nice one about a week ago when my (stupidly-light) leader got sliced on some shellfish, thinking it was mid 30’’ range.

Not sure if I can make this evening work but I try to fish every weeknight when I can. I’ll send ya a pm soon.

Thinking the slots are the 2015 class

Haha!
Heading down to the south shore tonight, hopefully it doesn’t rain too too hard.
Could hit Boston harbor tomorrow pm before the celts game??

I’ll be heading up to NH tomorrow afternoon, going out this evening after work if you stay around. Should stay good for at least a few days, looks like the onshore wind pattern will hold. Maybe next week?

Where you hitting today? Neponset-ish? Could do that on the way (going to marshfield)

North side, Winthrop outer harbor area, so that’s probably not gonna work

[Brock Landers]

Ahhh. Was up there last week. I’ll take a rain check (no pun intended) maybe next week?

Cool, next week is good. We probably passed each other out there last week, ha

[Brock Landers]

The fishies are here in Salem/Beverly. Lots of fish on the flats in the 20’s with a few bigs mixed in. No issues finding them a couple hours on either side of the low. Both intermediate and floaters are being used. Mostly brown clousers with pearl and chartreuse/ brown combo working too. Midweek I am available to bring folks to the fishies.

[Phall]

Getting super excited for my trip. Found my old fly tying stuff from high school. I dabble in squirmy worms and midges but don’t invest in anything. Managed to whip up two clousers and a half and half which I screwed up but still looks a little fishy.

The best strippers are in RI not MA.

Took all three generations out for an apres dinner Striper.....

Not the greatest hold for sure but swam away. Barely left the dock for this little guy.

Just finished fishing off the coast of Montauk.
It was pretty great, except for the part about heading out at 4:00am.
Caught our limit of Striped bass and sea bass. These two were too big and had to go back.

[east or bust]

fkna! those are some pigs!

speaking of Montauk, if anyone needs a guide hookup one of my buddies growing up runs a fly fishing charter out there for whatever’s in season (stripers, blues, false albies, etc)… they clean up pretty well. Windward Outfitters, ask for Peter

So tell me, if you were going to end up at the Cape on Friday 8-20, what might you find? Taking the 8 wt for laughs. Thanks!!

Not personally located on the Cape, but there should be Bluefish and Striped Bass around, and I believe the first wave of False Albacore just showed up.

[new yabyum]

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing something new!

Finished the season up this past weekend. Fished my dick off, landed a personal best from shore (53” 54#) many other large fish, pretty good consistency, and a lot of hours. My best year overall despite a tough wind and upwelling for all July
