Striper action is going well and the "Boys" are picking up
quite a few. From jigging bucktails at the "Race" to chunking off
the "Gurnet" fish are responding. More photos to follow.
Fishing the "Race" is always an adventure. Jump in the boat and head
in the general direction of Provincetown, then just follow the crowd to
your destination. The fleet was there, but mostly everyone follows
the boat in front of him as not to cross lines and cause trouble.
Many boats were hooking fish and soon we joined them. We hooked and
released a couple of 24-27 inch fish and a nice bluefish by Jimdogg. As
we ran through the rip, Rock Bottom took a nice 31 inch fish and the
bite was on. Seas were choppy but not a factor overall. G-No and Elmer
each caught a 16.5 lb fish and a couple of others were over 10 pounds.
It was wire line and an assortment of bucktails and parachute jigs.
We lost more than a few to the bluefish, but jigging underneath them,
brought the biggest stripers to the hook. Good thing I have a friend
that makes them for me.

from the "Race".

Stripers 2006
Striped Bass can be caught a number of different ways, using a myriad of
different baits. They also can be found in the shallows and in deep water. Where
you chose to fish often dictates the bait and the strategy. We fish striped bass
from the Merrimac River to Rhode Island and beyond, and it never amazes us what
will catch fish.
"Rock Bottom" joins the keeper crew by scoring this nice 38" striper caught
in Duxbury Bay. "We were chasing pogies and this one grabbed my bait and the
fight was on. " "This is only the beginning of the good fish. The fall run
will be bringing large fish our way soon and we will be there." said Rock.
Elmer with a 37" 23lb 6oz from a Monomoy Island Rip "We were
using bucktails and jigging the rips today" said Elmer
We released this one to fight again!
Speaking of loving twins, look at these nice 34 inch 15 lb beauties!!
Both Billy Bob and Jimdogg brought home a couple of nice fish both about the
same size. These were caught in Boston Harbor. There is a lot of good fishing to
be found in the Boston Harbor and adjacent waters. Look for the birds to be
working or baitfish on top and give it your best presentation. From east of the
"Graves" to Blacks Creek on Wollaston Beach in Quincy. Or up the rivers from the
Fore and Back rivers on the south end to the Mystic and Saugus rivers on
the north. Great fishing for striped bass can be found. Shad bodies and pink
soft plastics took these nice fish.

Bob shows the seasons first keeper
The year had started slowly for us in the striper department.
But it is starting to pick up. Rock Bottom picked a nice 38 inch striper
near the mouth of Plymouth Harbor on an eel. The other fish were caught
in Boston Harbor around the islands and peninsulas. Plenty of schoolies
and small blue fish to be had, but we are thinking Striper Cup. We need
to get busy! G-No has landed some nice fish on his charters and
his clients go away tired and happy from pulling up fish. Jimdogg lost a
keeper while fishing from the kayak at the mouth of the North & South
Rivers in Marshfield.
August 15 Plymouth Harbor Schoolies galore and even a fluke for
G-No. Throw in a couple of bluefish and you have a nice evening.
Nice Fish but not what we are after. Saw Toothed Stripers are a blast
on light gear.
G-No has the bluefish knack.
