Conditions were challenging for everyone I spoke to, seasoned fly anglers to spoon chucker's. There was bait if you knew where to look, but not a ton of it in places I fished like the salt ponds. There was a strong North East wind which churned up the water and weeds making clarity terrible in spots at certain tides. Although Charlestown Breachway was seeing some evening/night activity.
I did manage one 25 inch striper on a fly on the outgoing morning tide in Charlestown flats and missed another the following morning, but lack of small fish like needlefish, shad and baby blues made me switch gears at the end of the week.

My final day I managed to catch a Bonito. Walking off the rocks that morning I heard I was the only one to catch a fish that morning. 23 inches and grabbed the casting jig down deep.
