Barnstable Harbor Hotspot Revealed!

Barnstable Harbor & Sandy Neck lookint WestThis is an aerial photo of Barnstable Harbor and Sandy Neck taken by Pete Gray on a day when there was no reflection and you can see down to the eelgrass beds on the shoals at the mouth of the harbor. I understand there are numerous 'honey holes' in and around Barnstable Harbor from Scorton Creek out to Bass Hole and Cape Cod Bay.

This year I will trailer my 17' rowing dory down to Blish Boat Ramp and fish this secret hot spot for my first time. Want to join me?  Leave a post in the Members' Forum. [Note, Ed Wagner took me out on his skiff and we caught stripers in the channel shown above. See pix in the Gallery.] Dick Nicholson
