June 2nd Surfcasters Report

With the new moon this past Monday, anglers were hoping these were the tides that finally pushed the Stripers from Buzzards bay through the Canal. Despite a slow few days after the moon, the Canal is holding fish once again. Many of these fish are being pulled in the early morning on both topwater plugs and soft body jigs. With the amount of little bait around these fish have been dialing in on Silversides and Small Menhaden around 4 inches. So do not be afraid to take a step back and downsize your lures to match the hatch. In regards to the size of the fish, most are holding in the slot range, however fish up to 20 pounds are also being caught throughout the Canal. Key spots like the Herring Run, Rail Road Bridge, and Fishing Pier are seen to be most productive. With the weekend approaching expect larger crowds lining the rocks of the Canal in search of the trophy fish. Tight lines everyone!
