Billingsgate Shoals Comes Alive
By: Cape Hap Farrell
For the past three years I have taken a young lady, Emily Ewen, fishing out of Rock Harbor. She is, by all definition of the word, an avid fisherperson. She’s landed bluefish on tournament grade 8 lb. test line as well as 2 lb test tournament grade tackle. Emily has found both bass and bluefish on all of the light tackle systems I have aboard the Stunmai II.
This last Saturday she had brought her father and some of his friends. We were going to go up to P-town to see if the bass were still active. We stopped on Billingsgate Shoals first to check it out and didn’t have to go any further. We jigged most of the day and Emily, as always, was in the thick of it. At thirteen, she seems to be tireless. She not only landed the most fish, she took the two biggest fish we caught that day. The biggest was a good healthy 30 pounds.
