The last couple of weeks my time on the water has been limited. This heat wave has zapped the desire to hit the surf, chilling on the dock is more in order. If this July is anything like last year i will wait a couple more weeks. I summed up my 2010 season in my tide book with a "July 2010 SUCKED" there was a bit more detail as to the time, date and tide of the suckness but that summed it up.

Work, kids, dogs, moving...no time to fish hard this year so far, but there's fish to be had if you have the time. I'll be back at it once the dust settles in a few weeks...I just made my first eel purchase of the year today, so things are looking up.
Not seeing or hearing of many large surf fish at all. Frank D's annual 50 count is down too. Guys in the boats are doing well in many locales, but I haven't been privvy to many good surf reports.

Way Way down for me but I've switched from the boat to the beach. Still working on narrowing down the "new" spots. I"m batting about .300 from the beach with nothing over 36"
Canal has been "normal" though.

There slurp-ping in the dark and there are bass around. This isn't your first rodeo is it.... ya its summer time and the bigger bass are out deep.
Even the eel guys are getting skunked. I do agree that its been down hill for the last 10 years. They have been over fished for years just like cod in RI. Theres plenty of scup around to catch ....so when the striped bass becomes extinct.... We can tell our kids about the fall runs that we use to have ..... But the Draggers and pin hookers and poachers who fatten there wallet have completely destroyed the stocks and no one gave #^&#^&#^&#^& and let it happen.

Fishing the canal
can be this crowded for the canalcentric fisherman. I wouldn't crowd someone I don't like this bad. Sorry the first one is blurred. There is about twenty fishermen in that pic though.

Nothing wrong with this season.
Reports/ the internet are overrated & do nothing but cause crowds.
Unfortunately when you charter you have to do some self promoting.

No complaints here.... But they are boat fish, so who cares? Makes me happy, and was able to put another member on a PB last weekend livelining macks.
