Massachusetts Fishing Report – May 13, 2021
May 13, 2021
As stripers fill in, “slots” are now joining the micros. More fish means more habitat where you’ll find them, with beaches and herring runs leading to bigger-than-average bass.
A few friends and I each year tempt fate and hop aboard Captain Jason Colby’s
Little Sister on Mother’s Day for a little flounder fishing. In addition to catching fish the priority is not to tick off the special women in our lives and make it home at a reasonable time. The bite in Quincy Bay started off slow but as typical of flounder fishing as the sun crept higher in the sky and conditions got more comfortable, the flounder began feeding. We achieved half limits, had a lot of laughs and reveled in what a difference a year makes as last season something like this would not have been possible. It’s been a tough year, but there’s good news on many fronts not the least of which is the flounder are back! Additionally, there was a nice little striper blitz going off nearby with only one boat in on the action!
