This is the best thing to do when you can’t go fishing. Drinking beer, listening to music, and eating oysters.
It was a big party in Wellfleet.
This was just wrong on so many levels.
So was this.
It always amazes me that carrying my camera draws these attention moths to the flame.
Lots of Dancing.
These guys were hamming it up for the camera.
The place was rocking from 3 to 5 pm
The Rip It Ups were ripping as best they could.
When you can’t go fishing, you should drink beer and dance! Life is too short.

The Cape Cod Bay is alive with different fish. We caught striped bass and bluefish.Thursday the 13th was foggy. If the bay had not been flat, we might not have ventured out. The wind and rain died down around 3:00 pm, so we splashed and went to the first lighthouse. The fog horn gave us the direction of the shore. Blues and striped bass were all over. Blues in the first 25 feet, with bass from 40-60. Sunset ended the trip.
On Friday the 14th, our plan was to go to the third lighthouse, but the lack of signs of life stopped the forward progress. After doing a 180 we stopped at every Gannet Diving Derby. Some produced blues, some did not produce anything. At a location called Damian’s Pride or way point 35, we found a pile of bass. They did only trigger on the color green, 6″ sluggos – Arkansas shiner, and a Kalin bullet head jig with a dark green ronzi 7″ tail.
Here are the pics.
Light tackle really makes a 20 lb fish feel like a whale.
Back in 1904, I used to catch similar fish. 😉
This was the big fish of the day, 35″ @20lbs
Here are the two we kept. We also took a 4 lb blue for the smoker.
