Various Locations Within City Limits, Boston, MA Fishing Report
Stripers Rolling Deep...
Shallow, really.
Caught an hour of the incoming and stayed around til it got slack at a spot near Eagle Hill. Caught 3 schoolies plugging with the Daiwa SP minnow in blue mackerel, and another couple on worms. The water in this spot has always been pretty murky, but I noticed that it was especially grody looking this year...
Left and hit up a spot that I will have to keep to myself as it's been getting a lot of attention as of late and it's been tough to fish with all the guys trying, but managed 3 more schoolies floating worms and then hit a 29, 33, and 39 within a half hour close to dead low. Got thoee hits when I extended my leader to 5 ft from 3. Kept the 29 as I guthooked it and it was bleeding out. Released the others. The 39" weighed close to 33 lbs and was quite healthy, very fat, and had clearly been eating well.
VERY surprised at the number of schoolies my friends and I have been getting this year. Seems like we seldom caught them the last few years and now there are tonnnnsss.

I don't use 80 for the leader. I will use 60 for that just because when fishing deep spots, I have lost big fish due to the leader snapping or rubbing against rocks, etc.
I use the 80 between two swivels that are on either end of my glow bobber rig. -
80lbs mono??????
That's some heavy duty line.
Most I go is 30lbs mono main line. 50lbs floro leader. (When I'm live lining for big stripers)
15 light tackle.
25 big tackle.
65lbs braid surf casting
65lbs braid 5lbs mono leader for cod fishin -
Hi guys. I will post a photo of my setup soon. I tie the main line to a swivel which is attached to 80lb mono that goes through a styrofoam bobber and to a 1 ounce weight and then to another swivel. I then tie3- 5 ft of leader to this swivel and then finally comes the baitholder hook. I use the 2 or 3 inch lunker lights and attach them to the top of the bobber with a little plastic piece that comes with them... sounds weird, I know. I'll post pgitos later.

Nice job! How are you tying your leader to main line?

Jesse are you floating the worms with a cork/pop style rig that they use for redfish and sea trout? I've noticed some online that come with a built in weight system, looks easy to use.
as an aside, I spent the weekend at the cape, got skunked on Corporation beach fishing off the jetty 2hrs before incoming and through high tide.
