Managed a to sneak out a little bit last night and this morning. Last night I had to drop off a prop for repair in Kingston so I decided to just keep going and try my hand at fishing "The Ditch"...aka the Cape Cod Canal. I've tried it a few times with mixed results...but certainly not my normal type of fishing. Fishing the canal is an art all to it's own. Massive current and as the guys down there say if you are not paying as much in lost tackle as you are on your mortgage...you are not doing it right. Well I managed to bounce a Spro Jig off the bottom for about and hour or so...but didn't lose it....and didn't catch anything. I think 40 minutes of that time was spent picking seaweed off my line. Anyway, after that I switched over to a big swim shad and managed a couple hits. Then I saw about a half dozen chasing it down and nipping at the tail. Ran back to the car, grabbed the light tackle rod with my trusty 4" sluggo and managed to land a 16" schoolie. Cool - skunk is off, time to go home.
Got up early this morning and met the guys on the dock in Quincy. We took the G-Boat and Mako out with a couple of members. Nice morning on the water. Found a sight for sore eyes. Birds diving and fish busting. FINALLY. We dragged an umbrella rig around the outside of the school and casted in with our spinning rods. They were pretty skittish but we landed a couple of 20"+ schoolies in our boat and they got another couple in the other boat...including a 29" Keepah!
So the action seems to be getting more consistent and things seem to be heating up a bit. In another week or two I'm willing to bet that things will bust wide open. It's a great time to go wet a line! Enjoy.
Take care,
Scott Washburn
