7/9/08 For the past two weeks the bass fishing off the rips of monomoy has been the best we have EVER seen
there. Up to 100 fish a day is not uncommon with almost all keepers. Squid are still heavy in the rips. Some reports
of bass and blues at the 'C' can off Chatham Light. Tuna have been taken at the ledge, BC can and Bobs tuna spot.
Shore fishing is still producing, especially at night and early morning. The mouth of stage harbor is a good place to
start.

7/21/08 We knew the fishing couldn't last as good as it was forever! The rips off Monomoy did slow a bit this
week with the weak tide we had. Lots of bluefish are moving in. This is not to say that you can't catch bass. In fact
bass fishing has picked up again the last couple of days, early morning is still great. I expect it to be better again with
stonger tides this week. Stage harbor is polluted with big blues and bait. Large schools of pogies are still in. Some
nice bass have been landed there as well. We are getting reports of bass two miles off the new inlet in about 60 feet
of water. Tuna fisherman are finding huge schools of bass 10 to 15 miles out. They are fun to catch out there but
don't keep them past the three mile line. Several boats have been boarded and checked. The tuna bite has been a
little slow too. Keep checking in this week as I will post my next tuna report as soon as I get it!

7/24/08 Like last year at this time, stripers are holding in about 60 feet of water two to three miles off the new
inlet. I've been landing large bass on almost every drop of my jig in these waters. If you head out, look for the
birds working on schools of sand eels. Check your fish finders if there are no birds. You WILL find the bass.
Diamond jigs, buck tails and sluggos with at least a 1oz. head will do the trick! The rips off Monomoy still have a
lot of action with many bluefish in the mix as well. Get there early in the day for your best chance at bass.
