June 16th Boaters Report

Just because moon tides are more focused towards shore anglers, they present an even larger opportunity for boaters. Not only did the striper fishing excel expectations in both Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Bay, but the tides also cause bottom fish to move much closer, into shallower water. In Buzzards Bay, Stripers are still chasing pogies so thick you could walk across them. However, these pogies are on the move constantly so narrowing down their position may be difficult. Make sure to check shallower water up inside the bays where they seek shelter from striped bass. In Cape Cod Bay, larger class fish up to 50lbs are being caught live lining mackerel off of Provincetown. The bay has been producing many fish for boaters around Billingsgate as well. Tight lines everyone!
