Tautog fishing picks up in Buzzards Bay and around the Elizabeths, bass and bluefish gorge on sand eels in Cape Cod Bay, and schools of albies and bonito begin to thin out.
Albies hang around Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeths, rec. size bluefin bite in Cape Cod Bay and south of the Vineyard, and bigger bass reach the south side of Cape Cod.
Albies flood Buzzards Bay and make their way into the Canal, stripers and blues gorge on peanut bunker in the salt ponds, and bonito make a good showing in the Nantucket surf.
Bottom fishing slows with the closing of sea bass season, stripers from 20 inches to 20 pounds chase peanuts in the Canal, and albies slowly trickle into Buzzards Bay.
