10/1/2015 4:58:00 PMMy friend Pat and I also fished the east side of Possession this AM, but we were further south at the SW corner. Today is the third day in a row we fished it. Limited Tues and Wed and got 3 today. They are deep, not shallow like usual, these Silvers are still feeding on herring. Their egg skeins and milt sacks are not well developed, not like most years. Lots of herring balls and fish marks although today was slower than yesterday. 150 to 200 FOW, 100 to 140 on the downrigger. Go where the fish finder shows fish. Fish like you would for Blackmouth. The fishchecker at Everett at 2:00 said 55 boats, 48 fish.

10/1/2015 7:09:00 PMThanks for the info Barchaser. We will keep pursuing them. One of my friends said they are still coming in and we haven't seen the majority come in yet...so hopefully that means a few more weeks of fishing out in the Sound. We did drop down to 90 feet when we hit the west side of the Bar - lots of birds, we just couldn't get anything to hit on our lines. Current was moving fast too. Anyway, thanks for sharing info.

10/2/2015 10:59:00 AMThe old axiom on Possession is fish the east side on the outgoing and west side on the incoming. The thinking is that on the east side the outgoing tide will push nutrients up onto the bar from deep water and attract baitfish, and the reverse on the incoming. The south east side is usually easier to fish, the tide flow isn't as strong as the west side.
