Capt. Matt was out today doing some scouting around locally and found some good size black fish eager for soft baits in local waters and while his attempt at fluke was not as succesful as the tog, a good friend of his did catch and release a handful of fluke to 20 inches very close to home yesterday. Capt. Rich also reported both yesterday and today on the way out to the cod grounds of HUGE stacks of bait (probably squid) just south of the Apex. Sounds like things are right on track despite the cold winter, spring is in the process of being sprung!! A fresh cod report will be available a bit later this afternoon.
