Made the run to Race Pt yesterday. Fished with BK and Bob. We cleared the Gurnet in the dark and reached our destination just as the sky was beginning to brighten. It was nice to be the only boat working the area. The tide was flowing out and there were hundreds of gulls and terns working the rips. We set up a drift in about 25ft of water and began catching fish immediately. Working a 6" Tuff-Core Sand Lance, near the bottom, would get a fish on almost every cast. We were having a great time catching nice fat bass to 32" and a few feisty bluefish on light tackle spinning gear.
A few other boats showed up and the tide slacked, so we decided to find a quieter spot and headed a little East. A few miles away, we found huge schools of large sand eels in about 60' of water. There where some Minke Whales working the school with us. We were marking a few fish around the eels, but not many. We tried jigs and sand eel imitations but we only had one hookup, a strong fish that made a some long hard runs before spitting the hook. We scouted a few more spots but found nothing but rain. We headed back to the race and found a quiet spot that was holding fish. We caught a few more bass before we had to head home, we needed to be at the dock by 10:30AM. We found a more small fish in Plymouth to end the day. Final count was about 40 bass and a few blues. A great time was had by all.
