6/21 Dux/Plymouth Report

[Bassbuster]

No traffic to worry about getting bait yesterday morning. Only able to get a few live one's and quickly went to spot one. Weeds and water clarity were a problem. Although while retriving the first bait had a solid three footer turn away at the boatside. It was good to see as the winding was up as well. Bait got hammered as soon as he hit the water. A nice fat 40 incher came aboard. Just then I turned my head and saw what looked like a herring get hammered about two feet out of the water by a much bigger bass.
We didn't get anything much bigger and then used chunks which they hit regularly for the next hour and then they moved on. Decided to ji our way out to bug light and got another small keeper, I felt like I was at the race witht eh swells in bay.
Just as we were ready to call it a day aI saw I swarm of about 50 - 100 terns all alone w/top water bass. A fresh school entered full of lice 34 - 26 inches. They sporadically went after popper but crushed a new Spook my father in law made. They were fighting to get to the lure as I had a number of fowl hooked (tail, belly etc). It was non stop from 10:30 to when I left at 12:00. The snotty weather left us by ourselves to enjoy early season feed bag they had on yesterday.

Good for you!! That's the best report I've seen for our water in awhile. Looks like you hit it just right.

Don't think anybody will be out there today.......

Saw a sailboat upside down against the Plymouth Jetty this a.m. and then took a ride down to Berts Cove to watch waves busting over the wall 20 feet in the air complete with rocks and all sorts of debris!

Yes, the week of 10 - 14 days of east wind was fillanlly broken even if N/E. The fishing definately helped offset the conditions.

I guess I'm not surprised as a lot of connections have been tested over the past couple of days. Reminds me of when the resteraunt would just open the doors so the water could go in and out when it got pounded during storms.

Your description brings back some memories, I was in the Boyscout troop in 78 that shoveled beach sand and 2 ton boulders out of Berts after the Feb. blow.

Pogies getting any thicker in the harbor yet or are they still up in Duxbury?

[JonathanB]

Nice report! I was out sat morning and couldnt buy a pogie. Hopefully this weather shakeup will force them in.

[Bassbuster]

Last week the pogies were in thicker but not yet like last year. There was more sea herring around yesterday than pogies until the end of the incoming.

I'm hoping they come in full force as they have been working great on the Tuna. I'm hoping that's the ticket if and when I have time to make the run out for them. They are big though.
