Well it was great to see some fish caught last weekend for the Bluefin Blowout, some real slobs! Just as it seems to get going the fish don’t seem to settle in and stick around. Every day a few fish seem to be coming in off Jeffries but no one place seems very consistent. Another problem is the slime is bad on most of Jeffries so you are constantly checking and cleaning lines. It looked like the bank was going to start to show signs of life but the dogfish have moved in pretty thick over the last couple of days. Still hearing rumors of some small fish around and I just had a guy in the shop who got spooled in Ipswich Bay while jigging for cod. Good news is the bait is still thick with good amounts of mackerel and whiting around. I have also had reports of a few smaller fish seen out around Tillies and Wildcat. Sounds like south of Martha’s Vineyard there are piles of 35-40″ bluefin around, which makes me incredibly jealous!! Good luck out there! Weather looks awesome for this weekend!
