  1. I am going to try some clamming or oystering. I would like to stay around Marshfield to Plymouth range. Can I gets some suggestions on which town might be best all around (considering everything .. catching, access, parking etc) ?
  2. Ok .. thanks .. it makes sense that they should feed at night as well. What else do they have to do?
  3. Another thing I was always curious of .. do blues shut down feeding (largely) after darkness? Of all the blitzes I have been in, that is the way it seemed to me. Also, I never caught a blue after 10Pm or so.
  4. Ok ... that is very good to hear. I will go out tonight, maybe.
  5. Thanks, All .. this gives me encouragement. My plan was to launch at the Hull gut, and go from there. That seems like it may pay off. I will report on this if I go.
  6. I fish in the Weymouth/Hingham harbor area and have not seen a blue all year, or all last year - except for trips to Race Point. Has anyone hit blues in the southern harbor recently? How about off the beaches from Hull to Plymouth? Do I have to trek to the cape or south coast to get into some blues?? I know the pogies are all over the harbor, including in my area, but I still have seen no blues. If anyone wants to mention a specific region - please message me. any info greatly appreciated!
  7. Thanks Steve. So .. maybe the flats around the harbor islands could be good right now. I may get out soon in the yak.
  8. Never fished for flounder since I was a kid. I have two questions. First, what bait is best all around? I imagine seaworms would work but doesn't everything you don't want eat those too? I am thinking of venturing out to a beach in the Hull to Scituate range, inspired by HFG's pictures. My other question is, would these fish be around the southern harbor islands now? Such the area of Grape and Slate?
  9. Yum's 9" Houdini in herring color. Yep .. I bought a huge supply of them when I heard they were stopping production on the 9" years ago, and I love this lure.
  10. Well, we started off pretty normal, if not surely 2 weeks later than last year (which was very early). Some large fish were in with the herring (my son took a 42") in very early June. Then, it became absolutely flooded with schoolies .. thousands of 'em. Then, they left, and oh man is it SLOW. I do not see the usual evening surface activity, I do not see birds working anything, and we have not been catching fish (sure, an occasional 25" fish ..). We have toured the south islands which usually hold fish, especially at night, and it is really quite dead. Now, we have a few harbor blue around, but they seem isolated and not in big schools. Is this consistent around the whole harbor this year? Is it a year that is even slower than last year (which seemed a bit slower than the previous)?
  11. Silva - I've been kayak fishing for many years now in CT, RI and MA. Now that I live on the water in the south harbor, that is mostly where I paddle. To me the major advantage of a kayak is I can fish where boats typically dare not, but where stripers often hang out, as The Riddler mentioned. The very shallow regions right around some of these islands ... very tight to shore, hold more fish than people think - and large fish too. Also, on a nice night, I can rest completely worry free, knowing no boat traffic can come near me. There was some good advice given here. The one I will add is try not to get in the habit of going out alone at night, if you are headed out to those deeper water spots. I just always try to go go with someone if I am heading out. Sharks? No .. that's the last of your worries. Even if one came upon you, they do not love the Tarpon as much as we do .. no interest. Do not concern yourself with this. Good luck!
  12. oh bummer!! I do hope he gets his teeth re-planted. I also hope many people read this. I mean, who would think such a thing could happen chunking for blues! The lesson here is that we always have to think "what if" when we pull hard on that rod, and it's aimed toward us ...
  13. I lived in CT for many years and really hoped this would succeed. Well, I applaud their efforts and they hung in as long as they could. I would have "cut-bait" on that project long ago, as the fish just never returned. It sure would have been awesome!
  14. There were plenty of blues at race point recently, and maybe not too big to hand off the rod to the kids. Later afternoon to sunset seems all good for them.
