Boston 6/2--Quality and Quantity

Rich took the weekend shift and put clients on fish all weekend long despite battling some wind and weather. As others have noted here, find the warmer water and you will find the fish. We have been fishing in shallow water with temps ranging from 54-57. The fish are schooled up and feeding aggressively even during the middle of the day on the right tide. The big fish yesterday was a 38", 21lb bass taken on the fly. Bill had to strip it in after the reel seized up. (pic below)My charter canceled today and I spent some time working on the boat before sneaking out for an hour in the early evening. The start of the incoming tide was great, and I caught fish, most above 26" with the largest about 35", on almost every cast using both large sluggos and yak hair herring flies. Water was about 10ft deep and the wind was calm. A beautiful night on the water.

We have an opening this Sunday (June 8) morning for a 4-hour trip as well as Tuesday (June 10) morning. Good tides should make for some solid action.
