  1. My spot is in the area of a mussel bed, both tog and flounder I catch there usually have mussel spat in their stomachs
  2. For fishing in Plymouth in the spring I made up a three way rig with a two hook flounder rig on the bottom and a dropper loop with a tog hook about six inches up, I would use seaworms on the flounder hooks and a crab on the tog hook, it worked pretty well
  3. I once read an account of a fishing boat captain in the 1800’s marveling at a moonlit night halibut blitz on sand eels on George’s bank, what a sight that must have been
  4. I ran into a school of mackerel between bass river and harwich one early June morning not far from the beach just after telling my buddy there was no chance of getting them in the sound, so you never know
  5. Those high pine ledge videos are great, especially the triggerfish and tautog, there are plenty of tog in the area but I find them difficult to catch for some reason compared to south of the cape
  6. Don’t forget a pogie treble or a fluke rig
  7. Unless this upcoming year is different than the past 40 I have fished the area don’t bother blue crabbing in Kingston, Plymouth or duxbury, head to the south coast or the cape, maybe in 10 years it will be different. It might be worth getting a non resident shellfish permit if you are into that, steamers, hard clams, razors, and oysters are all available. For shore fishing opportunities I would look towards duxbury, there is lots of non resident shore access there with more water and less mud. If you had a kayak the channels in front of rocky nook are almost a guarantee for schoolies and possible larger fish early mornings in the summer.
  8. They used to definitely be colder, cranberry farmers used to ice sand on the south shore, it’s been years since they have been able to do that, the ice sanding machines sit and rot, and one year I drove my car onto little pond in Plymouth to get my ice fishing traps, lately it seems like that will never happen again.
  9. Before catch shares we were going in the right direction, one year I caught cod off the gurnet within a cast length from shore and my buddy got one in his lobster trap a stones throw from rocky nook, catch shares was just another colossal f up in a long line of them
  10. when the power company used to send out calendars every year with historical photos I remember one was a picture of the ppb with people dressed in Victorian outfits with whale cod that presumably were caught there, if that does show how much we have effed up the ocean nothing will
  11. Congrats, nowhere near as easy as it used to be, it's crazy to think way up in the NMW you have an equal chance of seeing a deer as a moose now, they used to be everywhere.
  12. Jason knows and speaks the truth, there is understandably a lot of talk on this website about striped bass mismanagement, but IMO the groundfish tragedy is much much worse, especially the winter flounder story.
  13. For just saltwater fishing? No it's free you just need to sign up for the saltwater registry
  14. The fishermen who left Hampton Harbor, N.H., on a 17-foot center console for Jeffreys Ledge offshore were identified as Jia Fu Zheng, 38, of Quincy, Mass., Daxiao Lin, 43, also of Quincy, and Jaime Liu, 42, of Litchfield, N.H., who were recovered unresponsive and transported by Coast Guard boat to Station Gloucester, Mass., and pronounced deceased by local medical examiners. The fourth man, Bin “Michael” Cai remains missing.
  15. You do it electronics store in needham, they have one in stock for $1.29, order online and select store pickup
