Left the North River on Saturday morning about 5:30am for the 20 miles run to Provincetown. We (3 of us) took my buddy's 18' Sportsman (next trip will be in mine) and had a nice 45 min run in 1 foot seas with some leftover swell from the NE storm that went through.
Arrived off of PTown around 6:15am and dropped our butterfly jigs in about 70 feet of water. I landed the first keeper bass in less than 15 minutes and we all had one by 7am. I switched over to light tackle (12lb spinning gear) and landed a 36", 21lb bass on a fin s fish.
In all we landed 12 or more keeper bass, all on butterfly jigs and fin s, and headed for home around 10am. Got home just as the wind went NE and the fog rolled in.
Great morning on the water. The Sportsman is a great platform for this type of fishing, just need to pick the day as we did.
