Yes, that’s right, “funny fish” season has officially begun, although it will be a good long while before we see them in strong numbers. Stripers, on the other hand, continue to show in incredible numbers throughout the entire region. With lots of big fish pushing into the 40-pound class and the numbers of 20-pound class fish have been staggering for the last month or more. Bottom fishing continues to lag behind a bit although we did see our first reports of reliable fluking and an upward trend in sea bass, particularly on the Cape. And with a free fishing weekend in Massachusetts, it’s “all systems go” no matter where you choose to fish!
