510.0. "Report from Westport Mass" by ASABET::JDOYLE () Mon Aug 05 1996 09:55

    Went out on saturday from Westport Ma around 7:00 AM. Fishing was slow
    for first couple of hours then picked up after moving to several
    different ledge locations. Got about eight bass two keepers one
    47" one 34" from there they when't 33" and lower. Lots of large blues
    did'nt have scale but would guess many of them were in 20lb region.

    John,
          Was this a charter ? Are charters available in the Westport area?
    I sometimes visit Westport River Winery and have wondered about fishing
    while me ladies go to Horseneck Beach. A 1/2 day charter  then
    reconvene the familyat the Winery before going to come of the excellent
    restaurants in the area could make for a nice weekend away without the
    hassle of Cape traffic or the added distance. It's a "new" section of
    coast line to me. Any place to surfcast ?  Thanks for the asnwers and
    for sharing your "luck"!

    Bob, the fellow I charter with Bill Reynolds is an ex Decie and has
    worked out of westport on a part time basis for the past thirty years.
    He has a six hour charter but I'm sure he would also do a half day.You 
    need to get in touch with him early where he has a steady base of old
    customers. I have been using him for a number of years fishing with
    my four boy's and never came home without keepers in fact last week was 
    slow with two keepers. As for surf fishing they seem to fish the
    channel near the boat yard and also the harbor entrance, never tried
    it but I believe there are some niece fish caught there. Bills home
    number is 508-582-9285 , he usually does weekends only unless you
    happen to catch him on vacation from his regular job.
