:cool:

Work is busy as SHeeite but should get out at least once a week till Turkey day...

I am done.....but might take a road trip.
Time to tune the skis

I may try a couple more times. Possibly Block Island on Monday.

not done yet after last night's trip!

Done...finished...finito'.....maybe some trout and salmon fishing the next few weeks, after that ice fishing will have to hold me over...if we have ice! I would be just as happy if we have a mild winter like the one we had two years ago...January 28...65 degrees...fishing for largemouth bass in plymouth...niiicccceeee!!!

not done yet after last night's trip!
:wavey:
Me either, to much bait to quit.

I'm all done..Cleaned up and put away most of the gear (I think I detected a smile coming over my wife's face).

Like BigFish said maybe a little trout fishing. Am thinking about trying some Smelt Fishing up in maine once this winter. Wouldn't exactly call it sport fishing.....But they are good eats.

Other than that I'll be trying to suck up as much info in the off-season to help improve My fishing when spring gets here.

All done with the stripers, it's cod till May.

I'm done. Been cleaning reels all weekend. Which brings up a question. When ya take apart a Squidder, where does the dog spring go? If I find the answer to this, I'll also know where the socks go after coming out of the dryer.
Luckily I have extras.(socks and dog springs:o )

This is a good site.

Thanks.:happy: :happy:

Good site. Still couldn't find the answer to where the damned things go though.:laugha: I already had a couple extras anyways. Only lost one out of the three Squidders that I own.

Ya can't give up yet guys... still fish to be caught out there!!!

Still Fishin :rolleyes:

Gonna see if I can catch a few more before the snow flies (again).

Clammer...are ya still catching????:confused: Please report!!!

all done ,kaput,finished....when ya got a gal that thinks fishin [most the time] is wastefull time, ya make deals to keep pace in the house..may-nov 1st is mine, nov-ta may is hers....this way when I say I'm goin fishin theres no grumpin ....

I am all done for the season. I hope to do some trout fishing, possibly Wachusett Res.

Krispy - Short Beach has a lot of small fish if you're bored. First of the outgoing - there are some nice wadable bars and rips that form at the mouth of the Housy. Went there early this a.m. for chits and giggles.

For me, its all about the hold-overs. I'll be done may 31st.:D

Ever catch a winter holdover near a hot water outflow of a power plant? Fish don't look terribly healthy, most of the fish I've taken in the winter are covered with white scaly curd. :yak:

:laughs:

WeeWee,

you are killing me.

That is my old stomping ground. :(

Fish around to the west side. Lordship rocks !

Na... no power plant fish for me, I go all natural. Think about where i met you that day, thats close to where i hunt the elusive holdover bass. Also, its illegal in RI to keep a fish after dec 1st until april 1st so its all about catch and release for me.

Caught 20 schoolies today, so the fat lady ain't singing yet.

Bob, if it's from a boat it don't count. ;) :p :bshake::laughs:

I'm still at it

I will be out this weekend if the weather is okay.

After tusseling with more bluefish than I want to count, and a fair amount striped fiends all last week, in a land far, far to the south, , it's only been four days and I'm already going beserk.....so...........gotta give South County at least one more go either this week or early next week.....

Then, if the fish hold like they did two years ago (and think they might again, from what I saw last week), there is always another 300 mile one way trip for New Year's, though I already see the wife holding the cleaver and frying pan when I mention it.......

:eek:

Hey, there's always smelt.....:smash: :smash:

Hello Mr. Panus. :wave:

I'm done for.

Eben - that closed season was 2 years ago - there is no longer a closed season on bass. Not that I'd eat and plant bass :yak: - regardless of how much cleaner than Thames fish they are...

:wave: Wee Wee.....BTW, I see you came out of hiding.......;)

Oh and also BTW, that State you live in sucks.....seems they like to close TWO left hand lanes of 95 and back up traffic for ten-fifteen miles in the middle of the day, just so they can take two hours to put down 5 square inches of asphalt and some sand on a bridge joint......IN THE SHOULDER..........:rolleyes: ....errrrr..................

Oh.. well there ya go. Even If I could keep them I wouldn't. This morning I did a little kayak mission to my holdover hole and caught a bunch of schoolies with fin rot that was so bad one of them had no tail. I mean no tail nada...

not me we are just getting started down here

John I'm hurt, a shot at the Rose I hold so dear, what do you mean dirty fish? Where else can you catch numbers of winter holdovers, while the aroma of burning plastic and the sound of police cars fill your senses? Just because those floating logs, might actually be floating logs, or that bloody rag, might actually be a bloody rag, is no reason to come down on the beautiful Thames. Why just last week I focused on a pair of bald eagles soring nearby, so if you learn to just not look too closely, the river will reward you.

Thames = :yak: I hate CT waters. See any submarines? :laughs:

:smash:
Still goin'. Fished from 2 to 6 this morning everywhere on the RI Coast. ZERO!!

Haven't fished in a while :smash: SE wind on my way to work this AM. I would have bet they would have been around on the drop this AM.

piemma, you fish conventional and stop at the powdermill for coffee on your way home in the AM?????

I do fish conventional but don't know about the powdermill.

Piemma - welcome to S-B :btu:

GS - Sorry about your "Rose" but they are shinier out of the "Toilet" :laughs:

Thanks for the welcome. For the record, Striperholic. 134 nights straight this year. Over 300 fish 10 to 35lbs. kept a few for the table. Still out there but the picking are very slim in RI right now. I feel that the big push is gone and I am fishing for a lone fish. No schoolies. Disturbing.

Piemma - do I know you ??

Still out there but the picking are very slim in RI right now. I feel that the big push is gone and I am fishing for a lone fish. No schoolies. Disturbing.

Agree - kept waiting for a big push to come thru but never came on strong... I fell those fish headed way outside with some coming in from porkchop and montauk... It should still have a pick of bigger fish strolling thru just few & far between unless you luck into a pod of decent fish...

Few schoolies is right

Maybe. I'm in the surf all the time. Member of the Club with the house near Deep Hole

my son is the job leader on the super rehab thats being done to the house next to it = your club///

slug of large at block over the weekend=======looks like the same path as last year //
tons of bait at Quonnie yesterday =OOOO

no chit no schoolies ,worse fall I,ve seen =even the years they said there were no bass ////

what do you do with 500 giant mummies in the 3rd week of Novenber??????????????/

Oh I know the house well. Nice guy. I hear he is one of the original owers of Ocean State Job Lot. God Bless Him. He paid $1.2M for that house.
Anyway, been fishing the night tides every night since August. Out of work recovering from open heart surgery in June. Had lots of big fish in Sept and again in mid-Oct then it died. last good fish was 16 days ago. I found a small pod in the back of narrow River. 15 to 18lbs. That was Nov 3rd. Since then nothing and I have been throwing eels, live lining shad, ellskin plugs and swimmers.

Ahh - I'm a member of the club with all the fat fluke boat guys :laughs: - just kidding...

I probably have seen you but you are not who I was thinking of...

BM,


I'm the next member to go under the knife for the gall bladder...:rolleyes:

How long was your recovery?

*ouch*

Hope you feel better Don!

Good luck with your operation. I was laid up for about 8 weeks with the open heart operation. Feel great now. Hope you get well quickly. My sister-in-law had her gall bladder taken out arthroscopicly and she was only in the hospital 1 day.

ahem... I mean HEY! what about the fat surfcasters:laughs:

Wee Wee, you need another vote category for "until X-mas"!. I usually fish into December in Rhody, but it becomes mostly a game of "who can get the last twinkie". I will fish Prov occasionally in the winter, but have had no luck and its not my idea of fishing.

Right now, I have to agree there is a noticeable lack of schoolies, particularly of the "bigger" ones. I've been getting plenty of small fish, but the larger ones don't seem to be mixed in, and they are fewer than past years. I got my first 28" fish in a while Tuesday morning, only fish that day, same place I fished Monday night without a tap. I'm hoping we'll see a push of some stragglers

I'll take that under advisement for next year's poll, Toonoc. :D
