1 Fish
On board today I had repeat clients, Chris & Molly DeVillers for light tackle striped bass and blues. The past two trips, these anglers landed well over one-hundred fish with me, including some fine light tackle keepers.
At first light this am, it was pretty breezy out of the West with a little chop. We found birds working over bait in a few places but the wind made it difficult to set drifts. Combined with low tide, we would blow up on the flats pretty quick and the fish were also moving very fast.
But with the rising tide and the winds laying down a bit, I remained optimistic fresh fish would come into the bay and things would turn on. But I could see after the third hour it was not going to happen. A handful of bass were in the bay. Singles and maybe a half dozen in one or two pods. But they were running fast and not holding. Molly hooked into one of those fish – a fat, wide schoolie.
We watched the bay for a while from Kingston to Plymouth to Duxbury and finally called it. The chop and wind made it too rough to run out front in search of bass or blues.
Stay posted. Things could light up again on any day or tide…
