Stopped by the Kam Man, an Asian market in Quincy. They have frozen cryovac whole fish, like butter-fish, mackerel, pogies all kinds. Pricing far better than any baitshop. Will be trying this Spring to see how Fluke and Striped Bass like them.

Just back from Aruba. Tried fishing from the marinas boat dock at night. There were underwater lites and they attracted gazillions of small bait-fish of all species. I was using octopus for bait, caught one small fish. Snorkeled at Baby Beach and will definitely try fishing there next time. Visited Natural Bridge/gold mine area. Surf is huge but looks like a place were bigger fish would hang out. Need to bring some artificial soft baits, jigs and crankbaits.

Going to Aruba in 11 days. Anyone have some suggestions on shore/beach fishing?

What are the hot spots and hot bait for fishing Hull, MA beaches/
