840.0. "Fishing reports on cape????" by SALEM::LABRECQUE () Thu Aug 11 1988 08:52

    I am going fishing out of Bass River Yarmouth next weekend 8/20/88.
    I have not been out in that area lately, any information on Blues
    by the horseshoe shoal or Fluke by Monomoy Island would be greatly
    appreciated. If this area is dead then I will trailer the boat over
    to the other side of the cape. Thanks Joe

    I'M HEADED DOWN THE CAPE THIS WEEKEND AND WILL LET YOU GUYS KNOW
    WHAT'S UP. I DO KNOW THAT LAST TIME I WAS THERE (LAST WEEK OF JULY)
    THERE WERE SOME COD BEING TAKEN OF THE JETTY AT SCUSSET BEACH. NOT
    SURE OF THE SIZE. THERE WERE A FEW BLUES CAUGHT AND I CAUGHT SIX
    STRIPERS OPUT OF THE CANAL. NONE WERE KEEPERS BUT STILL FUN TO CATCH.

840.3They be in the bayMPGS::NEALFri Aug 12 1988 07:5112
    I was down off the Bass river on July 28 - 30, It was very spotty
    fishing. I then moved up to P-town and saw much more action. I was
    there on July 31 to August 1st. Lots of blues just off of North Truro.
    I was out between 2 and 5 miles on average. Fish were from top to
    bottom on 65' of water. I pulled into the middle of the school, shut
    the moter off and casted surface plugs with a light salt set-up with
    12# test and was killing them. The only question was which of the 4 blues
    trying to hit the plug who was going to get it. Biggest fish was a 20#
    (what a fight) and the average was about 12-14#. I also caught some
    Fluke off the the point. I hate it when that happens. :-)

840.4nantucket in MayCURIE::PLUMLEYTue May 23 1989 16:5517
    
    I fished Nantucket beachs on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
    
    I fished Great Point, Smith's Point, Eel Point, Jettys beach and
    Doinis Beach.  
    
    I tried flys, swimmers, (floaters and sinkers) metal, poppers,
    sliders, droppers, wire leaders, mono leaders, no leaders, fast
    retrives, slow retrives, no retrives,on the bottom, on the top and 
    in between, in the rips, in the breakers, in the eddies, in the
    shallows,  and in the deep.
    
    While there are some reports of short bass and a couple of blues,
    you cant prove it by me.

    Hay Harlan,
    
    	I only fish for about an hour and had 2 nice 10lbs blues saturday!!
    
    I was on my way to my inlaws house in Denis, when my wife and I
    stopped at the herring run on the cannal to let the dog out.  The
    herring are running good.  There were a few guys fishing so I watched
    for a while.  They were getting nice blues.  So I ran to the car
    got a rod, put on a trebble hook and went back.  
    
    They were all fishing live bait..  HERRING.  I snagged a herring,
    Thats the easy part, then started to fish.  First cast and bam 
    :^)  Nice blue.  Few minutes later I had one chop my line so we
    continued the trip to my inlaws house.
    
    No bass were caught they must be in there as well.
    
    Good Luck
