Anybody have fish on this weekend? Preferably Stripers?

skates:D

Hockey or Figure ?

Not a touch....Well, actually, managed to snag some peanut bunker on a needle. Nothin like sparing the skunk....................

Mee too...nuthin

Im quiting for the year

Went Sat am I got the skunk I saw two schoolies taken that was it. But!!!! There was a huge school of fish way out, I think I give it one more shot Friday if the weather is decent.

Fished south county Saturday sunrise and sunset, and Sunday sunrise. One schoolie :smash:

Both days had birds and gannets WAY offshore. Saturday morning had a quick flurry of terns in close where I was, saw two small keepers taken, that was it, then it was over. Peanut bunker was around both days, too.

I'm going to keep at it. I'm still amazed at the lack of the smaller fish that usually keeps me occupied around this time. :confused:

I'm shifting my attention to the sweetwater species.
Went fishing this weekend at a couple of my "go to" spots using bait and flies, and managed to coax a brown and a coupl of brook trout.

You usually only encounter the die-hards this time of year.
I usually fly-fish until the ponds freeze over. Last year I stopped a week before christmas.

I'll tell you one thing... Freshwater gets a hell of a lot colder than salt. I went down the canal last week and had no problem standing waist-deep for a couple of hours, yet with the SAME gear, I couldn't last more that an hour before the chills set in.

It's still worth it if you can trick a decent fish to take your offering.

I played go fish and uno with my daughters .

Lots of blackfish around, but no stripes.... maybe turkey day morning, predawn - sunrise in so co. ANyone else going then?

Trying to. My departure plans were delayed until Friday. Will be hoping to get over to L.I. & NJ then return through around 12/2.

Good luck Turkey day and maybe will throw a few in Rhody on way back through. Sounds like NY/NJ/CT/LIS area will work fine.

Mr. Wiggely at another site says he slammed fish saturday at Beavertail on rubber. I fished all weekend including this morning and never got a touch. I am goin' till the 30th and then into the workshop to make a mess of Dannys and Needles.

'Hound, I've gone on T-day as a ritual for the last six years at least, rain shine or snow ... will be out this time too.

Got fish more times than not, but usually not much in size

BW... I'm game for an early dec trip rhody trip, as long as it isnt 15 deg. and blowing 40.... email me or PM me here if your coming through this way...

I keep fishin with Mikey, he's like the fishing Jonah.
Hooh-Hah.
Love, New Computer Rickman

no fishing lately. too cold to fish. i caught a fish on, a COLD, sinus, and a chest congestion (sp?)




RJimmy, you can't quit fishing. You just have to wait until next spring.:)

Notaro, not quite sure what you mean, but I do know it made me think, so thank you.:confused: :confused:

Skunked both Sat and Sun mornings fishing East Beach.......:(, did see fish hitting bait one time but they were gone in seconds.

179... Was on EB sat am with a bunch of students... saw the birds, bait and some decent splashes, but no fish caught that I saw.....
It cant be over yet... I havent said so....

179, are you some kind of teacher or something?

Rappin,
Me a teacher, no I only wish I had one of the f/t paying p/t jobs. LOL. But I usually fish with a couple of guys who are teachers.

Despite the extrinsic benefits, (vacations, hours, workin w/ sexy college interns) the intrinsic benefits are also quite rewarding. I saw a kid make a 180 degree turn around this year, and new I was an influencing factor. That's the greatest benefit of the job by far (besides the vacations). Anyway, I barely make enough to keep me fishin all season. It's not like I work in CT. Think about it this way. Take what you would pay a babysitter an hour. Then multiply that figure by 30 (# of students in a typical class). Then multiply that figure by 7 (hours per day) then multiply that figure by 5 (days in a work week). I know that sounds a bit ridiculous, but some of us deserve it. I bust my a$$ every day at work (when I am not on this web-site). :eek:

Fished Gb early sunday morning, 330am - 7am. Ran into a few schoolies on top water plugs (black/purple 3.5 oz Yozuri) and 1 keeper at 32".

Still hearing from local shops that fish are around between Gb and Newport, RI (as far south as I have gone to date to fish).

GREAT NEWS. Nothing lately in Narragansett or the South Shore.

Moses - welcome to S-B (so you know, there is no coastline between the Ditch and Narragansett - shhhh ;) )

Whats the ditch?


:confused:

The Ditch is the Cape Cod Canal

The Ditch & East end of canal was full of mackerels last weekend, 11/15 - 11/16. Fished early and hard both days and only snagged a few macks, no stripers and blues. Hence why I started working my way south. I'll be heading down that area sometime over the next few days and bet some of the river mouths still yield some decent fish. Good txsgiving to you all.

I found Mikey today, does he count as a fish.
He sure smells bad!
Later,
Rick

anyone been catching blue back herring or tinker macks???????? if they are around why aren't the bass???????

I got a few fish on yesterday in Quincy. I caught three smelts and lost other (possible jacks) due to thwe size of the hook. And a tom cod.
