Sorry for the delay in reports. I've been busy with our open house and now we have the opening of the bay event in Duxbury tonight and tomorrow. We had a solid stream of people during our open house and we're really looking forward to the opening of the bay this weekend. If you are in the area, swing by and say hi.
Fishing remains strong. I haven't had much of an opportunity to put in a concerted effort but I've managed to catch at least a couple of schoolies each time I've wet a line. Even managed to get a shad last night. Fun little fish with the light tackle set up.
There seems to be fish working the bay at all hours of the day right now. During our open house we watched as small flocks of terns worked the water with fish splashing underneath all afternoon. Most of these fish seem to be schoolies but I have heard some reports of some much larger fish getting caught as well. The North River this time of year is always a hot spot as the big fish follow the Herring up river. A couple of my fly rod buddies have been hammering the schoolies there as well.
In addition the Macks are showing out front. I had to bring our boat Hogwart's from Quincy to Plymouth the other day and the Mack fleet were lined up from just north of Scituate Harbor to the North River in about 80' of water. I've heard some solid reports recently of guys getting 40+ inch fish with live Macks. If you are looking for that elusive cow (and with the Herring ban in its last year) this is probably your best method. Punch some holes in a can of cat food, drop it over the side (with a line) and have at it with a sabiki rig. I hear the live wells are getting filled quickly...so good luck.
Looks like we're going to have some great weather this weekend and I think the fishing is going to be out of this world. I am seeing an amazing amount of bait in the water too. Everything is in place for this to break wide open. So get out and enjoy. And please...send me your reports. I'd love to hear them!
Take care,
Scott Washburn

Love your blog! The fish have been cruising the shoreline around here too. Just waiting for them to start going off. It's looking good for you over there this weekend. Let the sun shine in!!
Hiya Scott,
thanks for the tips.
Can't wait to see how the stripers and blue fish are doing in my neck of the woods.(water) Hope it's not another day where I have to spend 2 1/2 hours waiting for bait. You sound like you are in abundance there. Lucky.
Holding with a 6 oz sinker today, ocean is clean. The Best Of Luck To All.
