i was yesterday morning. Left marina to see schools of pogies everywhere. got out front and saw birds working. Nothing breaking but the birds were moving fast. Looked Boney. Through in a tin and caught a mackerel. I cruise over the bait and its giant schools of Macks. IN NPT!!!! Bonito vomiting up silversides everywhere. Peanut bunker all over. I have my fingers crossed but I think this is the year we see some inshore SBF tuna action.

My shore-caught bone came on a live mack last year Lol!
In the past week I've fished RI and the Cape and I honestly don't think I've ever seen so much bait in my life, either.
What I've seen...mackerel, pogies, peanuts, bay anchovies, spearing, squid, juvie hickory shad, needlefish, sand eels, and I'm sure I'm forgetting others.

Same here, plus juvenile herring. There seems to be a lot of cold pockets of water moving around as well. This past weekend was the best weekend I have had since spring and even better than most of those days. Only wish I didn't leave my riggies in the car in the garage since yesterday morning. Walking into a wall of stank dead eels when you open your garage door will sure wake you up before work.

Summer runs of tinker mack's were common in my youth in the harbor. Used to jig them at the dock or causeway... they make AWESOME fluke bait... |

That's it, I am moving to the south shore! While the local river is chock-o-block full of baitfish, the harbor and oceanfront have been showing no such signs! Someone will debate this I am sure, but Cape Ann has been cursed the last few seasons. Fall "Runs" seem to run right past us and blitzes have been rare occurrences as well.

maybe the boat guys will debate it, but if you are fishing from shore or near-shore in a kayak the fishing has not been good..
last week I had macks and pollock no problem, trolled them all over creation without a sniff. A couple of weeks before that though I had multiple fish to 20lbs so who the hell knows! |
