If we get anymore rain I think we'll be able to fish in our backyards.  The rain doesn't usually affect the fishing . . . the fish are already wet.  We're the ones that have to get over it.

The bluefishing continues to be productive.  Big bluefish have been crashing Wasque Rip and East Beach on Chappaquiddick.  Bass fishing on Chappy has been sporadic, but fisherman continue to catch keeper size bass, with the occasional fish over 30 pounds.  Light tackle and fly fishermen are doing well inside Cape Pogue Bay and at Dyke Bridge.

The north shore has been giving up some big fish too.  Reports of bass in the 40-pound class have been taken on bait and eels.  Fly fishermen and light tackle anglers have been doing well with slug-gos and Hogy's, Jumpin' Minnows, and 6-8 inch RonZ.  

What has been depressing and discouraging is the presence (or lack thereof) of bait.  Lobsterville/Dogfish Bar and some of the bowls along the north shore have held bait, but not consistently.  This is what has frustrated most of the surf casters.  The boats continue to hit schools of fish.  

Hopefully, July will bring some nicer weather and better tides.  I am optimistic as I have done well in the beginning weeks of July.
