Tip-N-Ring headed out of
Brewers Marina in Plymouth today. The Marine forecast was
calling for a small craft advisory with SW winds 15-20 Kts with
gusts to 25 Kts. Seas were rough but the fishing was very
productive to the East side of Stellwagen Bank in depths of
150- 180. Mixed sizes of Cod, and Haddock fell for the
Norwegian jig and teasers, as most of the cod were taken on
clam. Water temps are slowly rising, as of today we were up to
45 degrees.

Tip-N-Ring will be at
Brewers Marina here in Plymouth for one more week then we head
over to our summer spot at the Pier @ Cordage in
North Plymouth. Fishing today was very productive,
bringing much larger fish then the past two weeks. We
brought over the rails two cod over 20 lbs. with more haddock
also showing up. The fish seem to be bulking up on herring
and sand eels. Today we worked the South East edge of Stellwagen Bank, and moved into deeper water after the tide
changed. Jigs out fished bait today 2 to 1, with most of
the strikes coming on the jigs in lieu of the teasers.
Winds today were out of the SW blowing 10-15 Kts with seas 3-4
feet.

"bugs"
May 31, 2004
We had to cancel our
charter for Alan & Al the day before due to a strong NW wind
but today we could have not asked for better conditions.
Tip-N-Ring left the dock at 8:30 headed for South Plymouth
to the Mary Ann's for some bug and fish hunting. Water
temps today were 57 degrees surface with a bottom of around
53 degrees. Visibility was around 12-14 feet with
little or no current making for a great dive! Winds
were out of the East and were light and variable. The
two veteran dive buddies teamed up today for two dives which
were very successful bringing in both flounder and lobsters
to feed there family's that evening. Both Alan & Al
are two very experienced divers and were a pleasure to have
on board, and we look forward to seeing them again this
summer with as much success! |
