foxfai Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 15 mins ago, NHAngler said: 20 gallon barrel. 600 GPH pump uses a suction cup mount. In the tank it has flow-rite tube inside that feeds water from the bottom up / adds air. Direction of stream is in line with the shape of the barrel. I use a tractor sized sealed battery and lasts about 8-9 hours running continuously. 5 gallon bucket is cut and zip tied with about 3" into the garbage can lid. This helps prevent sloshing water from coming out and some ability to cover the tank. All my macks caught this weekend were the nice 6-8" tinkers. Pretty neat setup. You can fit 100 macks in there?

Still in search of my first slot fish even after numerous hours put in. Caught a 22" shore cod back in May on Cape Ann and today I caught 4 scup inside Gloucester Harbor. Even had a tandem hook up on a flounder rig! Never caught scup up this far. Strange for sure. Scup on the north shore? Never caught them north of plymouth. Weird indeed.

dark_helmet Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Went for a beach day saturday, saw birds working all day. Was able to pull a few ~20 inchers out of the blitz. While wading I saw what had to be a mid 30's fish cruising the flats pretty cool to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen huge togs lurking in and around those boulders at low tide. They wouldn't bite if I put a crab to their nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen one since in 35 years. We used to fill out freezers each winter on canal cod. Dah seee 1 The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tested all of my 7' light inshore spinning tackle. Too bad it was out of season. Would've made some nice fish taco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
