Kind of slow, really slow, from the beaches, and we have to search on the boats to get bass. Heavy northerly winds for a few days, if it doesn't happen now, it won't this year. Canal has fish, so they are still around and on the move in Mass.

Tuna continues to be the hot item. Peaked Hill Bar, Race Pt, Stellwagen, you name it with tuna up to 200 pounds.

Tuesday Oct 13
Some big blues at Race Pt., up to 18 pounds,one or two bass but not many.

Mon Oct 12
Bigger blues and some keeper bass, not a lot but some, at Race Pt this morning.

Boats doing OK, we got a few keepers yesterday on a charter.

Tuna all over the place, live bait the key, although spreader bars and rubber - sluggo's and snipers - are doing very well.

Thur Oct 8
Here we go again.

Keeper Bass and Blues at Race Pt beaches this morning, on heavy metal, a few groups of guys came in, caught from five to ten bass each, so the winds did something today.

Wed Oct 7
Crazy Fall -very quiet last few days, wish I could say alot of fish but no. A blue here, a bass there and thats it. Boats still doing very well so the fish are still around the area, just whether these crazy winds will bring them in. Tinker mackeral in the water, which is a good sign.

Sunday Oct 4
Game on, on the beaches. Bass on heavy metal this morning, need to get out far and let the lure go deep, and then you have bass.

Sat Oct 3
Some bass from Race Pt beaches, also Truro - Ballston, plus big blues.

20 pounder weighed at the shop.

Friday Oct 2
Got a 43 pounder and a few 33 pounders on two charters today - big fish moving through!!

Thur Oct 1
Sporadic from the beaches, one day fish, the next nothing. Today some people at the Race got bass and blues, while others at the Race got zero.

Boats doing good if they can fish in the wind. Just got in, 25 pounders, Herring Cove potline.

Thur Oct 1
Sporadic on the beaches - slow some days, then some action on others. Today bass and blues were caught by some folks at the Race, but others got skunked.

Just had an afternoon charter, 25 pounders, so the fish are around.

Monday Sept 28
Bass and blues this morning at Race Pt!!

Two charters on the boat today - alot of bass and big bass too - migration has started!!

The big winds did not bring the bass in, sorry.

This morning though we had big blues at Race Pt, and alot of them - fun.

Yesterday in the boat got a 28 pounder, so maybe the big ones are coming.

Thur Sept 24
Heard of a 25 pounder off the beach last night, location not disclosed, but a good source.
