20 minute fishing

[21ftcc]

Well headed down to the cape today to do some striper and sea bass fishing today. Ran into some alloy at the ramp and both of were us running an hour late. However being an hour late kinda helped. The wind was blowing and died down some what. So we headed to the cape side for some mack's. The fishing was slow, however we put a few in the boat. Then we headed to the buzzard bay side. Within 20 mins three stripers above 34" were in the boat. First for the season was a 30lb 46".
The last one came an hour later. Since we were limited out we headed sea bass fishing. The wind picked up really strong so back to the other side we went only to meet more wind; that was it time to call it and head home.

Nice,
I went for a ride this afternoon as well, Salem harbor, smooth ride out, went to Misery island let the kids walk around, took a tour through Manchester harbor, counted 4 Hinckley picnic boats, did a little fishing outside of Manchester at half tide rocks, no fish, headed back.
It was blowing pretty good about 4:30pm, but bow up 15 knots punched through the 1' to 2' chop without much difficulty, let both kids try steering the boat heading back up the Danvers river to the Danversport ramp.
Pretty good afternoon off.

Nice work. Did you use a sabiki to get the macks, any pogies around?

We worked hard to get the mack's.. Had to chum them in with a land locked salmon a neighbor got last week. Then the mack's would only take the small diamond jigs with a squid tentacle over the hook.

I would check Boston Harbor for the pogies.
