Just to have a little fun this year I'm going to throw a nice AH needlefish into the mix. Here's how to play...
In the coming days I'll be declaring the surf fishing "over" for the year with regard to big stuff. You need to look out for my declaration...probably won't be until after the new moon, which is 10/20.
Once the fishing is declared over, I'll insert my head into the hole and you guys can all throw tomatoes at me... I'll let it go until thanksgiving week. In order to qualify, you need a good pic, weight slip, or other proof that tells me you're not completely full of %$%$%$%$. Biggest fish taken from shore will get the needlefish.

Do I get to pick the color?:grins:

you need to put up a geographic limit.

Are you supplying the to-mah-tos?

Ah, an astute observer...lets include nh,me,ma,ri,ct.....if the yankees get knocked out of the playoffs I may consider adding ny too.

Uh oh...Nostro-freakin'-damus is at it again...:laughs:

I dunno, Mike - this could turn out to be the worst year to make an offer to endanger your plug stash

In fact, there's gonna be a pretty strong crew of ringers on BI in November...:smokin:

Just sayin...:hihi:

yep, rotten ones.

And it's not even Friday yet.

And before and after some us go there at the drop of a hat....Oh wait thats just me...lmao

this will be fun....

then after wards will a fat lady sing ? :huh:

I'm just amazed you even know what an Afterhours needle is.

Numby has the gift of such subtle humor

you made me laugh.....thanks

I thought it was over in August??:smash:
you mean I could still have been fishing??
I'm starting to think people don't give the straight dope on this here internet :confused:

You always know the perfect thing to say in any situation, totally amazing.:jump1:

Another killfish initiative from Yoda.How about an RHM type photo for the c&r guys.

Wait a minute...Nostradamus is getting off real easy here. If this was the challenge it should be Back Beach would announce the date that it is "over" and everyone that posts a fish over a specific weight would be given a plug. That would be a challenge.

Then again it could be even more interesting of the "it's over" crowd put up a plug and the "it's not over" crowd also put up a plug...as in had to declare it was not over and then prove it.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I go back in my hole now

Ooh, another good reason to be a CT surfcaster :)

I thought your only plug was a yellow MAC surfster? Must have found the needle at low tide.

Here's my take from this week...it was a casual night with my cousin who is a complete newbie, but it was cool to catch a few fish so he could see what the addiction is about.

Nice fish! Btw, you didn't miss anything tonight... least not where I was.

I swear to God! I will quit my f&**&^%# job and stay on the Block until I win that plug from Mikey!!!!!:uhuh:

There still are fish being caught I just think people are keeping it quiet.

That's why I'm gonna wait another week to kick this off. Its only the bottom of the 7th inning right now.
It does look like we have considerable interest, and I appreciate any ribbing people are willing to throw my way...
