Stripers 2008

September 1, 2008

Striped Bass, Bluefish and Pogies move into Boston Harbor and Quincy Bay

G-No shows a nice 33 inch striper that took a live pogie on the top.

Pogies were active on the surface as bass and bluefish chased them from below. We snagged plenty of fish for bait but couldn't hook up with the fish doing the chasing. Some of the pogies came up bitten in half testifying to bluefish in the area. One of our favorite spots in just off Long Island near Nix's Mate. We had multiple runs and one nice striper .

Tankers are still a common sight in the Fore River channel

Irish Ayes chasing striped bass and bluefish.

Pogies are in Quincy Bay but where are the big bass. 2008 a far cry from 2007, when bass averaging 20-30 pounds filled the waters.

George waits patiently to help Jeff haul in the fish.

Billy Bob has the blues!

No keeper stripers but some nice bluefish were to be had. Pogies galore jam the area between the airport and Deer Light. More were to be found up toward Winthrop Yacht Club and back at Marina Bay in Quincy. The bluefish were around the Deer Island light and in the 8-10 pound range.

Night Time can be the right time too!

The "Boys" warm up for the fall classic. George the Jumper and Rock Bottom grab keepers. Elmer was close but no cigar. Plenty of runs and 6 fish landed.

Filme Kraken scores a near miss, demanded measuring of fish denied by board vote. Fish released.

George the Jumper had the hot spot and hand tonight with 4 fish including a 3 inch beauty that ate his bait. Rock Bottom attempts to release his fish. Not on purpose though.

Stripers 2007

September in Boston Harbor! Big Stripers invade the area!

The "Irish Ayes" with the "Bite Me Bait Co."

The overcast skies and light rain looked to dampen our spirits as we launched in Weymouth, Back River. That all changed as we headed toward the inner harbor. Suddenly ahead of us breaking menhaden, or pogies as we call them, and birds caught our attention. Out came the weighted trebles and live bait was in the well.  As soon as we could, we sent a live one out. It got  slammed by giant blue fish and the bite was on. Large striped bass were firmly attached under the blues and we found them quickly.  Soon it became a feeding frenzy that lasted for quite some time. We boated many bass in the 38-40inch range and we released many more in the same length category.  The biggest ones weighed in at around 23 - 25 lbs. Blue fish were well represented and all caught were sent home.
