View Full Version : fat lady is warming up....
Just n time 10-12-2010, 04:05 PM I heard her after hours of fishing last night and today with a bunch of micros and 2 keepers to show for my efforts:smash: the big blow scheduled for this weekend could end it for me and alot of others:fury:Thank God I can take my frustrations out when hunting season starts:drool:something is gonna die!!::soon:Gobble Gobble!!!:jump1:
nightfighter 10-12-2010, 06:16 PM I dunno about that.... Saw some limited topwater feeding locally that we normally used to see in late August, signalling the beginning of the fall run. Fall spots. Fall feeding. Got two calls today about the same. The weather may or may not erase what appears to be getting started. There were micros caught by me, but I saw some big tail slaps. All bass. I hope it is an abnormal late start and with the still warm water temps, we'll have fish here for another month
On ther other hand, I had live macks Saturday and Sunday and couldn't entice anything.... Did see a huge grey seal inside the harbor:wall: Will probably pull the boat this weekend, or next at the latest.
So shore fishing has been better for me lately, though not cutting back my braid and changing leaders has cost me a plug or two.....combination of laziness and not paying attention to surf rules.
Rob Rockcrawler 10-12-2010, 06:45 PM She has got a long way to go.
Back Beach 10-12-2010, 06:49 PM Even I am not thinking of quitting yet...still a month to go, although most of the big stuff already went by,IMO.
Just n time 10-12-2010, 08:10 PM Long way to go???:smash: You could say that in Augst maybe but it's October now. Here on the cape things are slowing down bigtime all over. I have seen a big blow like the one we have coming shut things down many times before.. I will probably quit sometime around halloween but there are no big blitzes or mass schools of slobs around here right now that I know of. The backside maybe the best bet for that but it certainly won't last long. What a funky year. One season ends and another begins, the bow is calling,deer pheasant and turkey season open very soon and I will go through the painful process of calling it a season and replace the rod with the smoke stick.
petern27 10-12-2010, 08:24 PM I agree with Ross....a recent visit to the favorite MH shore spot exhibited loads of bait..and a few very big tails --but they wouldn't take my plugs---After a great season at Crane Beach, I am back to the North of North Shore...
Ross, Hope to see you, Doc on your favorite rocks !!
ivanputski 10-12-2010, 10:59 PM the fall run was August 25th through mid september. For me at least... No regrets
Rob Rockcrawler 10-13-2010, 04:00 AM The water is still nice and warm. I will put in time until thanksgiving. A week on block in a few weeks is upcoming.

Rockfish9 10-13-2010, 08:33 AM The water off of Plum Island is 54....saturday morning, the only bird activity from great Boars head to Crane beach was at the outflow of the dredge....very unusual for this time of year....
BigFish 10-13-2010, 11:22 AM I heard the fat lady tripped on some rocks and sprained her hip this morning.....she will not be able to perform for at least 2 weeks! So fish!:fishin:

It's fading fast fishing bro's....I may go a few more times but maybe not.... the mental anguish is starting:wall: Some of you guys would say that there is still plenty of time left if it were December!! Gotta love the passion:fishin:
