I got there a little late. Millions and millions of pogies and some stripers, but no tuna, just the tuna boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSoundBound Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have never seen so many Pogies in my life! And we had Tuna crashing right next to the boat. I never thought there was such a thing as too much bait but I fished with 4 guys drifting/casting/dropping/jigging live pogies at all depths with only 1 fish to show.

Would've been the first thing I tried too (using a live pogy not withstanding - but I'm pretty much an artificials snob...LOL)...next up would've been some kind of large unweighted soft plastic (hogy, sluggo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joppa Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 With that much bait in the water getting them to hit anything is tough even live lining the pogies....were not talking your average school of pogies here...we talking mile long schools  that are 20 to 30 feet thick. 150 pound tuna busting on them again this am not even a mile from shore. Never seen anything like it in my life...take the pogies somewhere else where you know usually hold bass and you will hook some quality fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'm just glad to hear that pogies in those numbers are being spotted. Been a relatively unusual occurrence for a while now. It would be nice if that biomass would hang around for a bit. -bd  Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adson Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 When we were on the water off  Emersons around 2pm on Sunday there was a boat dragging nets.  I didn't watch long enough to see what they were up to but it makes sense if the pogies were out that way.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captahab416 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Could these fish be had from shore? I hope not it would make me feel better haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 From friends of friends, I heard yes. Very picky though. I avoided the whole place like the plague the past four days. I'd consider it now, but these events seldom last long. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
