This may sound like a spot thread but it ain't

first year around the mouth and there abouts.... all in all it's not the fishing i like to do really. dodge boats all day... everyone apparently has a license to be an a hole.... Even the guys on shore tend to be a$$ es, we were anchored up the other night and i kept hearing a plop next to my boat..... some guy from the stone wall was super casting right at my boat.... Hundreds of boats just anchor up and from what ive seen not catch a whole heck of a lot... (relatively speaking to the amount of boats that are trying)

I never seen or hardly have seen anyone trolling down the beaches or really trying anywhere else other than the mouth. I understand where the river meets the ocean is a great place to be but geesh there's gotta be other places to spread out to.


Do others feel this frustration while fishing there or is it just something you accept now?

that exactly my point.... i don't know much but i know enough to look at a chart and see there are lots of other spots worth checking out.

is it a herd mentality?

gonna start a 3:30am to 9:30am schedule for the weekends.

I've never understood why people anchor up in that rip, much more productive to drift. I like to fish the outgoing and just drift eels, bucktails, soft plastics, behind the boat. It's a bit tougher for they guy running the boat to effectively fish doing it this way, so we just take turns. You should find less of a crowd in the middle of the night. The flats are good as well, but usually no shortage of boats over there either. I've heard reports of people doing well around the islands further upriver, but I personally have never gotten much up that way. Just the facts of fishing around here, the good spots are often crowded.
