    Since there doesnt appear to be a 1990 Cape Cod note, I'll 
    start one.   I was on Pleasant Bay this past Friday, Saturday and
    Sunday.   Flounder fishing seemed to be pretty good.  I saw several
    boats with good sized fish.  Lots of people were fishing the flats in 
    little pleasant bay and the area south of Strong Island.  (South =
    towards the break (?)) It wasnt clear whether they were plugging for bass 
    or looking for fluke. Bass fishing from the shore was pretty active at 
    Nickerson Neck and I marked lots of bait in the channel between the neck 
    and Strong Island.  The folks at Ryder's Marina mentioned a 40lb bass and 
    I spoke to several people who caught schoolies.  No sign of blue fish
    and no sign of the seals.

    Yo,
    
       I was down the Cape for the Forth of July and the Bluefish were
    hitting at a number of beaches. I grabbed a few at Sunken Meadown
    in Eastham and heard of a few more being taken all up the coast.
    Most of the action has been on the Bay side- so I was told. The blues
    I caught weren't as big as the ones we usually catch. Then again we
    usually fish during Aug-Oct.
       I did get a chance to fish the Ocean side looking for a monster
    Bass at Lacountes Hollow in Wellfleet, but I did not land any. I did
    however have a huge hit using a live eel. Ripped the damn eel right
    off! Have you ever tried to put a hook through an eels head? They are
    very tough, plus they are not the easiest things to handle. No More
    hits after that- the waves were 6 to 8 feet which makes it a little
    tough to fish.
    
    Well I'll be cabk down in August fishing all night looking for that 
    50lb stripper!
