Schoolies along with some bigger bass and blues have been pushing bait with bigger fish falling for mackerel.

The Fall Run bass action continues with backwater bass up to 40-pounds and schoolies chasing wandering balls of bait along beaches.

Striped bass fishing continues to be good with bait producing good numbers of fish in the rivers and surf.

Surface feeds in Greater Boston have become commonplace while offshore options abound with good numbers of bluefin, sharks, swordfish and haddock being reported.

Schoolies continue to swarm the rivers as well as beach fronts while anglers throwing eels are finding bigger bass prowling estuaries at night.

Tuna continue to terrorize whiting in close in Cape Cod Bay while stripers feed on peanut bunker and mackerel in preparation for their fall migration.

Small artificials have been catching plenty of stripers in the rivers where striped bass have been staging and feeding on herring fry.

Dropping water temperatures and migratory urges mean that striped bass will not be fussy this weekend, and once found, those fish will be voracious.

Nights remain a big bass best bet with needles, darters and eels all working well in estuaries, marshes and rivers.

With the effects of the new moon, casting eels among the estuaries of Greater Boston should be very productive for stripers this weekend.
