Summer is in full swing as we are a week plus into a heatwave and looking at 90 degree temps for the next few days.  Caught up with the network over past few days.

Tuna

• A number of big fish right now deep into Cape Cod bay feeding on the Pogie schools.  Barnstable to Falmouth have been producing good.  Schools of pogies are around the fingers and large fish are being pickup right up off them.  Stick boats are also targeting the area and producing.
• Crab ledge blew up over the weekend with a number of large >90" fish taken on live bait.  Was a mix of fish with both GIants and rec fish as a number of run and gun hookups also in the area.
• Stellwagen has been quite a few fish hooked up on SWC and middlebank.  Middlebank has slowed down over the past week.
• Rec fish starting to show off the east side of stellwagen and the lanes south to Crab ledge.  Guys are putting in the miles with not alot to show for yet.  Best luck has come way east.
