Boston Harbor report 09/15 AM

[Rhumbline]

Ran out at daybreak and was treated to feeding bass near spectacle and President Roads. Landed fish on very small red/white popper and green streamers. All bass around 25" that were very aggressive.

Great way to start the day. Back at desk by 9AM.

I wonder if the fish were getting their last "meals" before the bad weather . . .

Looking out the window, I'm happy I got off the water. Front just move through downtown Boston - pretty nasty.

I was FAC and sunny this AM.

Maybe that had something to do with it...for what it's worth from 7:30-8:30 it went off and got significantly better where I was, but might have been reduction in boat traffic too. You didn't like the War of the Worlds blackness that just went overhead?:rolleyes:

[Rhumbline]

Where you on the water when the front came through?

I was looking for yaks this AM and did not see any.

I could see the front line over towards the city all dark. I got off the water around 8:45am. Things really got dark when I got to work.

I stayed a bit too long and got absolutely drenched just before 10:00 - plus a sprint to the barn at the first lightning. Lots of fish though. Mostly on a 2" crease fly. One of the blues also puked up a bunch of 1/2" shrimp.

Redux...this evening on the way home I found literally acres of bass on the surface. Almost a fish every cast, and I found myself trying to get the little guys off too quickly so I could look for biggies. All cookie cutter 22" - 24", but, like the girls you always remember, eager to take anything...once. I was soaked to the bone by the time I got off the water...and I'm afraid this striper thumb will never heal. --124-3
