The tides have turned and fishing the canal has slowed. We have seen fish early morning at the west end of the canal still breaking on top. White pencils and swimmers have done the best. With the tides getting better for the weekend, we predict a good run of fish through the canal. The weather for the weekend looks good, wind less than 15 mph and mostly sunny. Chance of thunderstorms Saturday evening shouldn't hurt the bite in the morning.
For the boat crowd, race point has picked up significantly. People who brave the weather have caught some good fish out there. Barnstable harbor is stacked with medium sized fish feeding on lots of mackerel. Live lining macks has been producing. Scup and Seabass season is in full swing! We have weighed in a few remarkable Scup, the biggest being an ounce shy of 4 pounds. Sea bass are schooled up nicely, and jigs with squid strips have produced fish up to 6 pounds.
If the wind holds off we should see great fishing from both boat and shore.
