Scusset is on a gorgeous beach and the Cape Cod
Canal. The 8 mile Canal cuts between
both sides of the Cape and the tide goes up and down, so the current is very
strong. Lots of different fish running
through! We went biking to the Sagamore
Bridge – about 5 miles there and back.
The Bluefish story. After a little mishap with the original
saltwater rod, we went to the store and I bought a new rod for my deep sea
reel. We went to the pier, and the
bluefish come in packs and you can see all the little fish jumping out of the
water. Whenever you see tonnes of little
fish jumping down the canal, you wait and cast it into that group. I hooked a gigantic bluefish and it fought
really, really hard. It took a long time
and it almost went under the dock. The
reel was bending and I had it on full drag, and it was killing me. We were using a lure that I pulled out of
the water when I was snagged, and it was really good. It was a swinger. Right when I was pulling up the dock, it was
suspended half way up – it snapped and fell into the water and I lost the
fish. Next time I will bring a net
and try to get the fish up quicker. Today!

The way the fish were running,
