Nice. I plan on getting out to Barnstable harbor this weekend.
The end is near gentlemen:

Not bass, but ground fish. Bass will come next.

I went out on Sunday morning about a mile off of Gloucester with my dad. Caught plenty of mackerel but we trolled some live macs for a few hours then trolled inside the harbor. Nada. But from seeing other posts, they should be here soon - in my area anyway.

Yeah this is killing my dads charter business this summer. So ridiculous.

If this passes tomorrow night charters will be OUT of business unfortunately.
I agree ,asmfc waited too long. The in shore fishery is hurting... Time will tell.
Striped bass marinade. 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup grey poupon mustard, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil.
Usually have it with white rice on the side.
I cook mine on the grill (don't want to stink up the house) in tin foil.
Had the mustard style last night and had it tonight with garlic, onions, peppers, Italian dressing in tin foil.
32" at west end of canal by boat on Monday.

Been out on my buddies dock down the street for an hour in green harbor. High tide was 8:42. Nothing but a nice weather night yet
Was out for another 3 hours on the Mrrmk mouth from 8pm til 11 last night. Not a single bite again for me or anyone else on the beach. Good thing though because for the first hour I was fishing with a new gibbs polaris popper and forgot to take the plastic covers off my hook points.![[crying]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/006.gif "Crying [crying]")

Yup that still happens

i was going through some of my striper gear today and came across a few Bombers that still had those covers on the treble hooks. Thought, wow, hope I remebmer to take those off before I throw it.
A smarter man would have removed them today, while I was looking at it...But not me.
never used those. How well do they work? Comparably to Lunker City paddle tails?
5 small fish today, no pics so there is still no proof that I ever catch small fish. Still a few weeks away from a real good push in the canal, good thing I'm on vaca for the week of the new moon.

my question is if I am fishing from the beach can I be by myself and have more than one line in the water? I'm only asking because on Alaska State Troopers they busted a guy for having more than one line int he water. The guy said it was ok cause he had a license and the trooper said no it's not....$110.00.
