Check out the Daily Catch at Sunset Marina!
I just finished up day 2 of my annual Massachusetts flounder trip and have a bunch of great fishing to report from here and from back home in OC. Here in Massachusetts flounder fishing was great with two limits in a row and some very nice fish. We didn’t keep anything under 18″ in our two days of fishing and we had several fish in the 5 to 7 pound range. We didn’t have any double digit fish on this trip, but Zach Webb did catch a pretty 9 pounder. It was another great trip to the Nantucket Shoals!
Today was day 1 of the Fish N Paddle Saltwater Slam kayak fishing tournament and there was some very good fishing. Tournament Director Brian Roberts weighed several different species of fish with some stud bluefish, rockfish and sheepshead in the mix. Here are the leaders after day 1.

Captain Andrew Dotterweich of the Fish On had a tremendous day on today’s trip as well loading the dock with a limit of yellowfin tuna.

The Tortuga fishing out of Bahia Marina had a nice day with four keeper flounder on this afternoon’s trip.
