Lower Cape ....Aaarrr
Just got back from a week on outer Cape Cod
The sun was out and the sight fishing was good at Monomoy, Pamet and in Plesant Bay
Many large blues to 34" were caught from the kayaks in Cape Cod Bay (that was fun)
Smaller blues (24")invaded the beaches at dusk.
Although we caught fish everywhere we went, generally the bay side produced better then the outer beaches or the south side.

May the fish that you catch always be larger than the hole in your net
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

I have wanted to fish for blues since I was a kid. Glad you had such a good day.

I am jealous. I have only been out once this year in the salt. I hope to get a shot at fishing next week when I go sailing with my bro. If not it is only a small chance I'll get out before Sept. But Sept. on the cape, that can be good
PS, How did you fish the Pmaet. Were you on the point or inside, and what was the tide. I have fished there several times and never had great success.

Sorry for the late reply Jed..
Been busy opening a new restaurant in N.H.
We fished Corn Hill beach(?), north of the river, wading out at dead low to knee deep water and waited for the fish to move in.
It didn't take long and there were more fish sighted during the short tide window there than there was in a full tide at Monomoy.
Great place!

Where in New Hampshire are you opening up a restaurant? And what's its name?
Corn Hill is nice. I think that most of the beach anywhere past Wellfleet harbor is a likely spot. I've fished many of those places in Kayak or from shore with success. The nice thing about this time of year is that you may not find the hogs, but there always seems to be some fish there to give you some pleasure.

The Purple Armadillo
Main St., Ashland.
near Squam Lake (Golden Pond)
People rake sandeels at Corn Hill for
commerical bait.
When the tide starts to rise, the fish come in following the "chum line".
Many of the bass I saw there were good sized, although that was awhile ago now.
