Well… If you like diving in chocolate milk, we have your ticket! We set out to find a couple of bass on Saturday in the bay, since the wind report out front did not look so appealing. We tried a few of the “old faithful” spots, the viz somewhere around 2ft and with the incoming tide it made the dives very challenging. The spots were loaded with big scup, which were rather hard to get a good shot on in the murky water, we did manage a few nice ones for dinner. I did see about a half a dozen bass to about 28”, nothing really big enough to shoot. Also many good size blackfish came by to check us out and laugh at us, since they are still closed for another week.

After a few hours and a few spots we decided that diving for a few clams would be more productive, we made a spot for about 30 minutes and got our limit of quahogs.

I would recommend trying some inshore spots outside of the bay to try to chase down some better viz as long as the wind stays down.

Good luck and good fishing!
