Falmouth Bait and Tackle

Christian from Falmouth Bait & Tackle said with commercial bluefin closed and no recreational sized tuna in sight, many more anglers were fishing for tautog along the rocks and reefs as well as the rocky shoreline from Nobska and up along the Elizabeths. There are good numbers of stripers being taken in that same area by tossing eels into the rock piles up toward Tarpaulin Cove. Black sea bass season closed now there will be more effort on the tautog and big scup front. As of this report there had been two and three pound bonito moving along the Falmouth shoreline as the storm began moving the funny fish along.

Jeremy from Falmouth Bait & Tackle said there were bones being taken from the area around Craigville and offshore in the area of the windmills. Other customers were taking stripers on eels while fishing along the Elizabeths. Nearby rockpiles and around Nobska Point are areas giving up tog although there are a lot of sublegal tog along with some husky keepers. At least one boat headed offshore on Saturday morning looking for fish after a spell of turbulent weather.
