The weather is expected to be fine, with sunny skies and mild air temperatures, making it a perfect day for fishing. The tidal conditions are moderate, with the high tide at around 9:30 AM and the low tide at 3:30 PM. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM.
### Fish Activity
The fishing has been very good in recent days, despite some challenges from dogfish and blue sharks. Yesterday, the catching was excellent, with most legal fish landed being pollock. Other notable catches included cod, haddock, redfish, cusk, whiting, and mackerel.
### Catch Details
Yesterday's trip yielded seven cod, eleven haddock, five redfish, four cusk, twelve whiting, and ten mackerel. The pollock were abundant, with many anglers catching multiple fish. Released fish included four blue sharks, fifteen dogfish, four sub-legal cod, twenty sub-legal haddock, and twenty sub-legal pollock.
### Best Lures and Bait
Jigs and cod flies have been the most effective lures, catching the majority of the fish. No bait was used yesterday, as jigs and cod flies proved to be highly successful.
### Hot Spots
For deep-sea fishing, areas around Stellwagen Bank have been producing bigger pollock. Closer to shore, the waters off Plum Island have been bustling with striped bass and bluefish, particularly where mackerel schools are present.
If you're looking to capitalize on the last day of the season, drifting and anchoring methods have been working well, especially in areas known for pollock and haddock. Keep an eye out for those pesky dogfish and blue sharks, but the overall fishing conditions look promising for a great day on the water.
