The boats fishing Provincetown early in the morning were reporting good bass fishing. The anglers onboard for the 8 hour trip wanted bass, so we bypassed the Shoals and headed straight to P-town. We initially started out tubing, but it wasn't very productive. As soon as we put the anglers to work jigging we hooked up. The action slowed down briefly at slack water, but picked up as soon as the flood tide started. We took a lot of nice keepers. The anglers chose to release a lot of them, hoping that the next one would be bigger. They chose wisely and limited out on some real nice fish up to 42-inches.
