We arrived on the bank and began our search picking through short cod to find a lonely keeper here and there. We worked most of the morning but just couldn't find that "jackpot" we were searching for. We stayed North till the tide then moved down the Eastern edge of the bank as the tide dropped. With only a few keepers in the box the feeling of the crew of 3 was fading. I decided to motor South and continue our search. The majority of the boats in the area had written the day off and headed for the barn. We had the bank to ourselves when it all happened. Three of us went tight. Motor up drift all 4 tight... this continued for the next two plus hours. Doubles coming over the gunnels, Slammer Pollack chasing the teasers to the surface, Haddock jumping on the teasers. The day was saved. With the fishing as good as it was, the day already getting late, and nobody in sight except the skyline of Boston we decided to extend the trip and try and fill the cooler. That we did!!! We called the notorius "last drift" at 4:00 PM. Bled and iced the remaining fish on the decks, dawned our rain gear, and made our way West back to Scituate. Beat up, and tired we saved the day
There was some harbor Alloy that I spotted as we pulled the AT out after the trip
Water was 48-49 degrees
Jigs and sluggo teasers
Fish were fat and full of sand eels & herring
