"What are they eating?"
"Schoolies in Rhode Island."
"KEEPERS IN RHODE ISLAND!!!"
"Mack's in the Boston Harbor."
With all the talk, I had to try my luck. I knew it might be a bit early to hit it, but I fished the outgoing tide at Castle Island in Southie yesterday. When I parked, I crossed paths with a kayak angler who fished high tide. He said he was dragging tube worms and saw a few others out, but he didn't have any luck and he didn't see anyone else hooking up.
If you have never fished Castle Island, there is a large man-made walkway that creates a salt pond. There are 2 bridges that allow water in at high and drains at low. It is great to fish right near the bridges because it creates some fast water and some eddies. 2 hours of throwing Slug-Go's and no luck. I saw a few birds working an area outside the Castle Island area but that was all the excitement.
I think it is a matter of a week before schoolies are in thick down in Boston and 2 weeks for North shore/Salisbury area. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later, I am ready for this season to start.
