Tony at Maco’s Bait & Tackle said the weather killed most fishing with the exception of the bass and bonito bite inside the canal. Some of their regular sharpies were also taking some very nice tog inside the canal where they hole up in those dens inside the rip rap. He said there were some bones in mid and upper Buzzards Bay and customers were catching them all the way west to the Sakonnet Point breakwater. Stop in for your bait and up to date information on where the fish are biting locally.

Larry at Maco’s Bait & Tackle said it was a pretty good week of bass fishing in the canal particularly in the east end where there are still mackerel schooled up. There were a lot of school sized bass and some fish measuring over 40 inches on a bite that was both deep jigging and topwater. The bonito were breaking in mid canal where few people could reach them. The tautog fishing has been great in the west end and up along the West Falmouth shoreline. They have the bait and the information to put you onto the fish.
