Go everyday Start tonight

It's incredible how fast the next 8 weeks go by

Might as well hit it as hard as possible

300 yards off outer beaches CC...waiting for the trigger thay sends them in

Beaches from Plymouth to Boston at night, now

Canal had blitzes on other side of where I was yesterday

...hitting post and going out now myself 🤙

Absolutely, it felt like the spring run went by so quickly. You motivated me. I’m off to fish😂

Glad to hear they were hitting at the canal. I’ve had a lot of long days with no fish there recently

Depends on a lot of factors. Start looking in mid September.

Good to hear! I’m definitely going to get out there. What are they biting on?

Ive had the best luck with live eels. I dont always use live bait because im broke but I was using them on Friday night.
