Bait Intel

Bait is plentiful in cape cod bay and the north shore.  Squid continue to be heavy on the south cape beaches.

Inshore Intel

With the morning tides of this week the keeper bass have made there way into the canal.  All is well in the world. There is a mix of mackeral hanging in the east end.  

Buzzards bay is heating up with both porgy and blackfish with the influx of squid in the bay.  Tautaug fishing is warming but still nothing to brag about.

On the south shore stipers have made there way into the north river and into boston harbor but is still spotty.  

Offshore Intel

The haddock fishing is still great on the northwest corner in 95 feet of water.  Large keepers make an easy bag limit.
