It was a day of multi-species and multi-gear yesterday:
Postyoa28 took the kayak out yesterday out of Quisset Harbor on the Buzzards Bay side. Ominous clouds and some light rain. Trolled a couple of lures during transit looking for stripers and bluefish, with no luck.
Got in the water at 5:45. Fished the shallows to about 25 feet looking for some tataug. Lots of little ones, but there were a few keepers mixed in. Fish were very spread out and required a lot of searching. Visibility ranged from 6 to 2 feet, with white particulate matter being the main reason for the low vis. Ended up taking 6 fish for the two of us, 16, 16, 17, 18, 18.5, 19.5. Good fish, but I didnt see any lunkers lurking around.
I stayed on the surface jigging with the rod and reel later to catch some scup, black sea bass, and a transient black drift fish. We caught a small scup to be live-lined and found it bitten in half after about ten minutes ( see photo )
From here around noon we packed up to go north to plymouth for some lobster diving. Took the heavy kayaks filled with gear and scuba tanks along a very bumpy trail with carts = pain in the butt. But arrived on site to 15-20knot SW winds. We decided to try anyways. We experimented with a mesh bag of scallop parts to try to chum in some flounder in about 20 feet of water. - Didn't bring in any flounder but alot of Black Sea Bass.
Viz was 15-18ft below the halocline/thermocline mix. We saw a school of pollock and a good amount of Tog actually - never seen so many so far north of the canal, but we already caught out limits for the day. Took 2 lobsters then decided to battle our way back to the beach when a storm was coming in. Following the "Crusty Lobster meme" we took some victory pictures.
Finished off the day doing some blue crabbing with another friend. Took about 20.
