Update from Gloucester:

The word is the Striper fishing has been extremely slow. Although, supposedly, some guys are doing really well; I don't believe it.

A few buddies of mine who catch fish at will, have been struggling to get even a single fish.

Last evening, I chummed up the fish at my dock. I could see Stripers eating the chunks I was tossing in the water, but they would not take the same bait if it was on a hook. Also, I was using some secret bait which they were able to take off the hook without getting hooked.

Heading out bottom fishing this morning.

I had a good year in the harbor and north shore when I could actually fish.... The girls and wife like to hit the sandy spots and hang....

I don't mind a bluefish filet (nobody else in the house will eat it). I bleed the fish and filet as soon as you can. Good on the grill.
