Who wants to go to the solstice parade undressed as DimeBrite suggests? Picturing a mob of PNWTFFErs pushing Stones' mildew vehicle, some pink capped swimming sortabeauty lolling about on the roof, Stones leading the whole nightmarish mess, lugging a big trash bag full of random junk he finds on the parade route, maybe he's also carrying a stick with a ghostly effigy of Herring Dan suspended from it....the rest of us throw handfuls of seaglass at the kids
I’m in, although my thighs tend more toward mozzarella stick.

This parade scene needs appropriate music.

I can’t attend if this parade is this weekend.
It’s going to be too hot! Reschedule for a wet day and I’ll be the grand marshal……😂

Boy I hope kids don’t attend the solstice parade.

On topic, anybody manage a coho from MA10 on the fly recently?

No but have not tried. It’s doable if your beach bound but very hit or miss in my experience on west sound beaches. I always start giving it a shot this month though Usually an hour or two if I am free during the best parts of big tides. Never specifically targeted them from my boat in June. That would probably lead to a lot more success. That said, I kind of like the idea of letting them grow another month or so to catch in MA 9 when it opens.

Solstice Parade, Saturday 22nd

8 am tailgaiting down by Ballard Oil....then parade... And at some point a legit scrap with those cryliner-wearing Jack Sparrow wannabes, the over-rated and shoulda been me-too'd years ago leches known as the Seafair pirates...
 
A while back someone mentioned an awesome tide chart website that showed the movement of current rather than just tide height, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Anyone still have it?

Is that the one? I've found that it gives a good idea of tidal flow directions but not entirely accurate of the speed.
 
Hit the beach today from 5:00 until 10:00. Should have quit at 8:00 as it got too hot and bright for my liking and the bite had died off.
Good number of fish to hand. Lost two jumbos. Time for yardwork. 🤮

I just use the Tides Near Me app on my Android. I'm sure they make a iPhone version as well. It has tide and current stations. Pretty handy to have on your phone and you can save favorites.

Hit a couple of beaches for 1.5 hours this morning on a scouting mission. I’ve been fishing some small local lakes the last two days and have only caught small bass, blue gill and stocker bows so wanted to see if the salt was an option for tomorrow. Mixed result.

A few of these.

One healthy, solid fish.

Results did not make the decision easier…;).
 
The most important thing is you got out and enjoyed this wonderful weather. Then getting a tug only makes it better. Congrats!
 
I see @Stonedfish is probably hiding from the sun and not fishing. But like the groundhog, he will be back out tomorrow... when he won't see his shadow, when it will be raining.
;)

Fair out this way, decent numbers but not much size, certainly nothing to post about, so I won't.
:)
 
Yet you did… ??? And since all info is appreciated by us frequenters of the P.S. thread, we thank you for the contribution ;).
I try...but draw the line at posting pics.
;)
