Before the summer vacation traffic begins think about a day trip to the Cape Cod Canal. Fishers are catching small striped bass with a few keepers in the mix, but the wind, rain and cold have made for tough fishing conditions for most of the spring. Do not forget to check out the action on the the Agawam River where it can be a real good, early season spot to try. Most of the bass are small, but there’s usually some fish in the 30 inch range. The Weweantic River on squid and has also been giving up keepers. The recreational size limit for striped bass is 28 inches and you can keep one fish.
Try the Railroad Crossing for black sea bass which opened May 18 and boaters who have been able to get out on the bay are reporting some nice fish too !. The size limit is 15 inches and you can keep five fish. Besides sea bass, scup will provide plenty of action for bottom fishing with jigs and bait, but they can get to be a nuisance.
The action for striped bass in the Big Ditch has been on and off, but there are a few quality fish around. Anglers have been working hard to catch them, though. Red Top Bait and Tackle reported a 40-inch, 25-pound bass as well as a fair amount of smaller fish hitting jigs and plugs. The shop also weighed-in a 9-pound tautog this week and numerous quality black sea bass from the west end.
