There have been some quality fluke taken around Martha’s Vineyard, including a 5-pounder taken with Fishsticks Charters and an 8-pounder caught by Julian of Larry’s. Cape Cod Bay has been slow, he said.īottom fishing is pretty good right now. He found the slammer blues chasing halfbeaks on the surface and crushing poppers, and he also found them in 50 to 60 feet of water, where they smashed diamond jigs.Ĭaptain Mel True of Fishnet Charters also found some big blues off the Backside of the Cape this week. Captain Kurt of Fishsticks Charters had great fishing on big bluefish around Nomans Island last week. This storm could provide the spark that ignites the albie explosion.īluefish are around in good numbers, with some being caught from the beaches, as well as under birds off the South Side and in Buzzards Bay. Albies first arrived on Cape between August 20 and 24 in 20, and it looks like we could be in for another early arrival. They staged at State Beach for a couple days, Julian said, and similar “here today, gone tomorrow” reports of bonito came from Buzzards Bay.Īccording to Tom from Red Top, there have been bonito, Spanish macks, and even a couple albies kicking around Buzzards Bay. So far, the inshore bonito fishing has been a bit lacking. Fish to 6 pounds are common, and that 11-pounder indicates there are some very big ones swimming around. The bonito this year seem to be good-sized, compared to a few years ago, when 16- to 18-inchers dominated the catches. Julian at Larry’s Tackle said the same, though Larry’s did weigh in an 11.75-pound bonito taken at the Hooter this week. The better action seems to be over toward Bonito Bar, said Evan. Eels fished tight to the rocks are producing good fish after dark.īonito fishing was running hot and cold at the Hooter. Striper fishing improved along the Elizabeth Islands, however, said Evan from Eastman’s Tackle. “Slow,” was the word from the Maco’s crew regarding the Canal fishing. The report from Red Top indicated there are still smaller fish on top, with the biggest being around 25 pounds, compared to last week, when fish into the mid-40-pound range were taken. Peanuts, mackerel, and squid are still in the Canal, fueling the blitzes of smaller fish. Jeff at Canal Bait and Tackle said the fishing slowed this week, but anglers are still catching slot-size and smaller fish.
