  1. Hi Bob G..this thread made ma laugh a bit, Everyone has their favorite spot and yes, fisherman at the canal "hog" space. Let me say this...Many times my favorite spot has been "occupied"...I get a bit upset...but go someplace else...several times that "someplace else" (not always the same place) has produced the seasons largest...lol...then I don't get as upset...lol
  2. Oldest kid mentioned a 40" fish, from shore on sea worm at a Squantum beach, somewhere, earlier today.
  3. give me 3 live herring and one bass over 36 inches a day...I could live with that.
  4. When I was a kid, 50+ years ago, I remember going on vacation with mom and dad. We went to Campbello Island (small island off the coast of Maine, part of Canada). Guys were catching 40-50 pound halibut from the dock/pier. They were bigger than my 4-5 year old brother...lol
  5. This is the largest of the Atlantic flatfishes, which if you do happen to hook one, can be very challenging to reel up from deep water. Season: Year round Baits and Lures: Sea worms, clams, strips of fish, sand lance, jigs. Methods and Tackle:Drift Bottom Fishing from a boat with medium to stiff rod. Mass. Saltwater Fishing Derby Minimum Weight: 50 lbs State Record: 321 lbs 513 Lb world record from Norway, 2013

    Halibut in MA

  7. My friend Jeff caught one from Yankee Capt. boat, 30 or so years ago, 100+ lbs. Won the cup for that. I've caught a few small ones (chicken halibut) on Capt John Cashes ledge trips, but that was 30 years ago too. They have big teeth, like fluke.
  8. Fried a big pickerel, tasted like mud, false albacore...not too good. Scup if not prepared proper tastes a little gamey too, to me. Never tried a pogy...lol
  9. 18 pound thing caught in the Potomac River , are those things in the other rivers that empty into Chesapeake Bay ? If so, are they eating striped bass and other fish ? Another reason bass are in decline ?
  10. it's a ding ding. Once they are filleted and skinned, they are good fried, baked, in chowder...
  11. between the river and Bird Island, off of "the castle".
  12. back in "the day" first good tiderunners came from pogie schools, on sea worms, or jigs...August, September. Never got them in the "springtime"
