Boston 7/1 Kids Love Fishing!

The fishing in Boston is holding up well despite the summer heat. We are still finding fish well inshore. The bass are oriented around the large schools of adult menhaden which are prevalent in our waters this year. We have had great success using topwater flies and lures to entice these fish to eat.

Recently, I had Mark Lawrence, his 12 year old daughter, client and his client's 10 year old son. Isabel is a seasoned angler and got the hand of striper fishing right away. The fish were finicky at first but as the tide dropped and the sun began to move lower in the sky the fish became active. We caught schoolie after schoolie and a few keeper sized fish as well. Everyone had a blast and dads and kids went home having caught their fill.Richard will be fishing in Boston for the balance of the week. I will be down on Martha's Vineyard targeting bass with the flyrod from shore. Should be great with good night tides and lots of sandeels along the beach.

Tight lines for now,

John
