Fishing Report August 24th, 2008

Well it's been tough keeping up with these weekly reports, but here goes.  The Bluefishing has been outstanding in Ipswich Bay, it seems every trip we are catching one after another. Lots of fun for anglers.  The Striped Bass has hit the August doldrums a bit but we still managed quite a few keeper Bass on every trip thus far.  The Cod/Haddock are still out on Jeffrey's in good numbers and we've been targeting them around the area of the ridge with success.   We finally managed a Tuna trip this week and ended up with a very respectable 125lber. caught on the troll down off Stellwagon.  There are loads of fish down there and they are on the feed, so its TUNA TIME!!!  There are also plenty of big Blue Sharks moving onto the ledges and we will start targeting them in the next week or two....Stay tuned.  With fall around the corner the water temps will start to fall and the fish will become hungry, that's why I love fall fishing.  Till next week, take care and tight lines....Capt.
