RKC. This may be a little late. Anywhoo, next time you head out there, when you go across Buzzards Bay just before you go through Quick's Hole there is a very deep pocket right there. When the tide gets moving, the Bass will stack up in that pocket waiting for bait to pass over. You have several options here. Cut bait and let it drift through, eels will work even in the daytime here, or diamond jigs in the 4-5oz range. You can try trolling, but I would go with a tube and worm rather than an umbrella rig. I don't know what you've got for tackle, but if you're going to troll it, you'll probably need a setup with either wire line or lead core line to get it down deep enough.
Then fish the boulder fields in Quick's with cut bait. Be careful in the boulder fields. The current gets going pretty fast and boats go through there at a pretty good clip. If you can snag a few Scup, that's a good place to liveline them. Cut the dorsal fin and a pectoral fin and hook the Scup right in front of the dorsal with a 5/0 treble hook.

Thanks, Chum but ya it was a little late.

You mean just on the right as you enter the inlet between the islands? Yes, I have fished there before. I am not sure where the boulder fields are.

Yesterday I had a late start and had to leave to pick up the family. I got there mostly for "slack tide" and there was not much happening there.

The boulder fields are right in the passageway between the islands. We're going to have to get together with MJ and have a go at it.
