I was east Saturday and the fish are still out there. We had a ball catching. It was a beautiful day to be on the water. Good Luck.

Hey Little Round, we're going east tomorrow morning.

We'll be off the dock by 0400 and I'll be on Ch 68, call Hooper in a white older SeaCraft. I know Reaper did well at the Sword area, so I was planning on going there, however another boat fished it today and said he found nothing, but the Crab had a lot of life... guess that's fishing isn't it! Should be lines in by 515-530, somewhere, I'll let you know what we find if you give me a shout.

Saw lots of pods of small fish feeding on sandeels. Tralled right paste them all morning long, went 2 for 3, fish in the 45" range. Think that may be it for me. Saw FF out there, hope you did well!

I think it goes from squid rigs, to a rigged ballyhoo some where here in the fall??? just have to get some islanders and go back out there.

During the fall when the fish are finicky usually they are on small bait (sardines, frill, etc) The smaller the bait you can present the better your hookup rate will be. :kewl: Also adjusting your speed and spread length to optimize your presentation will help a bunch.

When they get finicky and are on the small bait, I've had very good luck the past few seasons switching over to spreader bars made up with 6" jet heads. I have green bars and purple and will put out 4 of these with a couple of rigged ballys just inside of them on the flats.
Saved many a day, when the squid rigs have gone quiet.

We pulled some 13" bars, 9" bars, a GM, bird, and big swimmer without a look. Summer= sandeels/squid Fall= sea herring/macks/healfbeaks/ and other ground fish. My guess is that they just change their pattern. What ever the case, they were going nuts feeding on top???

reaper, you have mail. We have a ton of cedar plugs, we took one fish on that set up the other day, a red and white number, and the second on the ugliest bent up stupid looking pink rig you ever saw. It swims sideways and spins around, but it catches fish like nothing I have ever seen. We call it Retard-O rig, but man does he get busy. Don't ask me why, becaue we can't explain it.

So, we'll throw more cedar in the spead and Retard-O of course!
