They is in the ocean.

Some is in the Bay; some is in the harbor, some is on the Bank and some is on the Ledge. None are in the sound.

When in doubt head for the most boats. If you see a boat hooked up it always makes sense to troll right next to them. The bigger the boat the closer to get.

Follow Stick Boats! When you see a guy ready to throw the harpoon, cast in front of him with a shimano baitrunner 3500 on a 15 ft surf rod (preferably Yellow in color). Use a slide rig, 5 oz weight and a couple of sandworms on the pre-tied packaged hooks! That will find you some fish and make you some new friends out there!

Good luck this weekend

Hey Alan

Welcome to SFC

And for your first post to this site, you've been properly inducted with some outstanding sound advice albeit funnier than hell....

Being a Stellwagen rookie can be a good thing~ my first time on the bank was last Sept~ its always an adventure for me; yes, I have some waypoints but rather keep my eyes open once I'm on the bank~ such a vast body of water~ so much opportunity. Sure, look for the boats but dont put all your stock in that....

Good luck out there!
