Charlie Wade and I splashed the Tuna Meltdown in Scituate around 6 and ran aproxamatly 22 miles to the Northwest corner of Stellwagon. The ride out was alright with a mix of 2 to 4's just as Noaa predicted and the rader was essential with the fog lowering visibility two only about 200 yards in some places. We got to the corner at about 7 and the fog lifted and to my surprise we were in a fleet of about a hundred boats trolling everywhere. We stopped short of the fleet about a mile and decided to troll into them not to piss anyone off. We had an impresive six rod spread going off the stern of the 20' CC comprimised of 2-13" bars, 2-9" bird bars and 2 Daisy chains. Colors were Purple/black, Black, Green, and some pink. The Purple/Black was a big hit with monster stripers all day and we had a large fish (probobly a tuna) boil right behind it but he swung and missed it
. Lots of Whales, bait, birds, and a very large Basking shark. Total for the day= 3 stripers ( one pushing 40 pounds- ALL RELEASED), 2 Knock Downs, And the very large boil behind the Purple/Black bar. The further East we trolled the more weeds and other crap we found floating. Made trolling almost impossible you had to check rigs for weeds constantly.
