TODAY: Top-Water Action continues…
A quick report for today. I left the camera at home (!). Ran out for a short trip this morning at 6:30am. Sun was way to high for me – I’m usually on the bay a half-hour before it rises. But fish were still here. Several very small pods of striped bass in the bay, working under the birds. First two casts of the morning yielded two fish: a 27″ and a 30″ incher. We picked up several more shorts, but the goal this morning was to Re-Con the bay and see where the fish were and what they were doing for upcoming charters. I think it is going to just get better and better right into the fall. Lots of bait around – mumachogs, green crabs, immature blues, butterfish, hickory shad, and a few others I am not sure what they are. “Rainbait” is showing in the bay and reports from other anglers of birds and top-water from Duxbury, Plymouth, Kingston and up towards Scituate and down towards the canal continue to pour in. All good news… Small blues are in the bay with one or two big ones mixed in. Bass in the bay are all sizes – except the twinkies. We have not seen tiny bass in the bay at all this season. Everything has been in the mid-twenty inches up through the whoppers’ in the thirty-pound class. A ton of stripers in the mid-teens to low twenty pound range.
