Weekly Fishing Reports

Sorry, no reports this week. The summer nor'easter has kept us out of the boat and away from the shoreline. If we get out late week, I'll post up anything worthwhile. It may take a few days for the ocean to calm down and the waves to subside enough to get out on the boat, beach and rocks.

But just for a chuckle; A Jack Daniels Fish Story

A saltwater fishing license will be necessary starting this coming season. For 2010 you will need to register with noaa, no charge this season.
Starting in 2011, we all will register in Massachusetts to fish in state waters. There will be a fee of $10.00 for most anglers.
