Current Report
BOSTON HARBOR-Stripers
6/20/04
Striped bass fishing picked
up this week. Off MinotÂs
Ledge in Cohasset a small
pod of big bass moved
through yielding a 46#, 30#
and two 20# bass to the
lucky night-fisherman who
found them. In BostonÂs
inner habor, new bassÂ
covered with sea-lice-- are
moving into the inner-
harborÂs bays.
B-FastÂs BAY FLY fished
Monday and Wednesday
morning. Al Grimaldi and
friend from Ossining, NY
worked hard Monday morning
as did Eric Berke and his
brother from Jupiter, FL on
Wednesday morning. Schoolie
bass to 25 inches hit white
slug-gos and
chartreuse/white half &
halfs worked well on the
long rod. Typically, the
harbor is on fire at this
time. However, a late
spring and cold water has us
behind schedule by a couple
of weeks.
Wednesday eveningÂs charter
n the B-FAST was quite a
different story and the
upper-reaches of the inner-
harbor bays was where the
action started. This proved
to be one of the best
evening trips of the
season. Three small blues
were first to come to the
boat, hitting both surface
slug-goes with spinning gear
and sub-surface Half & Halfs
on the fly rod. Later, on
the flooding tide, an acre
of line-siders surfaced to
slurp silversides. BassinÂ
AssassinÂs and slug-go
fished on 5/0 off-set worm
hooks,Texas-rigged,
accounted for 15 bass
between 20 and 27 inches as
well as 2 keepers at 30 and
31 inches, respectively.
Long time client, Tripp
Frank of Manchester, MA, was
not to be outdone using the
long rod. His third cast,
hooked a keeper, lost at
boat-side. Switching to a
floating Orvis Wonderline on
the Vortex reel, Tripp
started raising and hooking
bass on a white sliderÂthe
closest fly to a slug-go.
SaturdayÂs trip with Doug
Bauer from Vernon, CT
brought similar results,
although the stripers were
very fussy. The rocks of
MinotÂs produced about 10
schoolies as well.
