Castle Island - Sight Report

[PAX]

Went for a walk at Castle Island with my wife and son around 7:00pm. Instructions were clear: NO FISHING. Still looked at the water and noticed a lot of big swirls on the south side of the "sugar bowl". Seagulls and terns were starting to circle the area but no diving. I would bet something was to happen. Also a guy had a 36" striper on the string at the elbow. He was using clam.

We now know one thing's for sure: Joseph's not married.

Crossing She Who Must be Obeyed is usually a very, very bad idea, Joseph, and for some, nothing short of suicide. :)

all them swirling bass were having a party with a worm hatch.
the seagulls would come down and just scoop up 7,to 10 inch
seaworm.this being my first hatch i cut about 6 inch,s off
my black shoelaces and impailed it on a fly that i tore apart to get down to a bare hook.this was the most frustrating fishing i,ve ever expierienced.does anyone have any flly recipes,and a few tips on retreive.i know someone with worm hatch
expierience would have clobbered them,it lasted over 3 hours
and then some!

what were the bass feeding on and does this happen alot at the suger bowl?are there keepers out there or mostly schoolies?

[muddlerdoo]

these fish were all sizes with many (huge) swirls,definately fish
into the 30,s.i believe they were feeding on worms,some
call them clam worms,cinder,blood,i call them seaworms.
they call it a hatch but whats really happening is the worms are floating to the surface,and mating.
