CSB Surf Report 4/26-27
Posted: May 2nd, 2013, 2:22 pm
Seems like there have been a few inquiries lately about CSB fishing so I thought I would do a brief report on my weekend surf fishing. Friday evening the whiting action was hot and heavy but all small fish. Saturday afternoon hot action again but this time decent sized fish. I think I caught about a dozen whiting with a few lady fish mixed in over the course of maybe 90 minutes. Best surf action I've had in quite a while. Fishing cut fresh shrimp on 2-hook "pompano rigs". Kept a few whiting and fried them up for dinner -- good eats. Bad news is I didn't catch a single pompano. Also, I spoke with a number of folks over the weekend with no one catching any pompano except one local who said he caught a couple of shorts. The folks at Scallop Cove told me that people were catching pompano in the surf so maybe I was just talking to the wrong people. The only pompano I heard of being caught were caught from a boat down at the end of the Cape. Hoping to splash the boat in the bay soon but just haven't managed to do it yet this year.
