  1. thoughts and prayers sent. i will get you on a prayer line with the Sisters of saint Joseph out here in western MA
  2. "I've never not" has my head spinning like a pin wheel. Thanks! Merry happaday and where ever you haven't got I hope you get!
  3. Seals. They suck. Back in the day, all you had to do was lob a sand eel off the beach to get all sorts of fish. Vanished with in a few years of the seal resurgence. No more crap fish either in close: doggies, skate, skulpin, etc. all a thing of the past.
  4. Back in the days of the Alpine Slide at Mt. Tom they used to sun them selves on the tracks. Every year or so one would get killed by a sled. My brother and I used to work in the lodge (food service) and were cleaning out the walk in freezer one year and found one in a zip lock. I guess the EPOs asked them to save one that was killed, they must have forgot to get it. Who knows how long it was in there?? That must have been late 80's I'm guessing.
  5. Deja vu. It started on the outer Cape like this. One or two seals was a novelty one year at your best spot. The next year, seals were spotted at each of your spots and a damn bastard stole your best fish of the year at your best spot. The next year, keep your drags as tight as you can and reel like a fiend to get them past em. The next year, the fish adapt and it's time to buy a boat/kayak because the fish won't even venture close to shore at night. The next year you don't want to take your yak out as much because of all the sharks. I hate SEALS!!
  6. Some spots on the Cape is the best during those winds though.
  7. Yes, juvenile shad are dropping over the Holyoke Dam by the millions right now. Even with the lack of water, predatory fish (holdover stripers included) are ambushing them as they make their journey to the sea. Bird watchers are out in force as egrets, blue heron, and now pelicans come to partake in the feast. Truly amazing to see the fish glimmer in the sun at sunset. The holdover stripers are rare in this area, but they are there. A walleye, smallmouth, or pike are usually what will hit when you match the hatch.
  8. I think they don't see well or get side tracked on their building (at least in low light). I have had them swim up on me numerous times while I'm fishing the CT River. I seem to get the tail slap way after I have seen them approaching. Then they bolt. Unless of course you are near their young. I got charged once by a biggun. I ran out of the water screaming like a school girl.
  9. Bring the yak, shark repellant, pencil poppers for the morning, swimmers at night. It has been slow from the beach of late I have heard though.
  10. Third week in August on the North side of Race Pt by the Hump, 75 degrees. Next day, wind changes 56.
  11. Good advice on here. Steel leaders and heavy pencil poppers to cut through the wind if you get a north wind from the Race (blues will be on the shore). I also like Tsunami AK 27 to 47 tins from shore with siwash dressed in bucktail/feather. Small finnish swimming plugs during the day, bigger ones at night, will get you stripers on the back side. Back in the day, this is the week things would really start getting moving. OH, the memories.
  12. That's an old pic but one of my best Western MA fish. I used to fish the cup back then. I have since quit.
  13. The stripers come up there pretty nice for a bit over a month as well
