Mike; I was out looking for spot today. I tried in the Bodkin channel, out by the rockpile (where the old lighthouse used to be just south of # 5 daymarker), and then went north toward fort smallwood park. As we searched, I saw lots of good rockfish marks north. They were outfront of North Atlantic Marine marina in 16- 20 ft of water. I don't think I would liveline or baitfish for them; but I am very close to putting some trolling rods on the boat and run some # 15 or # 17 tonys off the boat. You would only need two and four oz. sinkers because the water is so shallow.
Anyway; good luck to you on Friday.
p.s. had a terrible day trying to catch spot today.
