Have Yet to See a Fall Blitz

and not for lack of trying.

How's about you ?

At least once every Sat & Sun during football season.

Otherwise it would boil down to location, timing and luck!
I've seen a few, but then I tend to stick to my tried and true spots during the fall because they tend to produce.

Not since August

As in birds working and fish popping on bait?


nope. pathetic


That being said, i have not seen the gannets busting on sea herring yet.

I have seen it 2x at same location this fall

seen it about a half dozen times this year, mosly in the ditch. only once this fall. yesterday almost counts. snapper blues were actually doin arials in the breakers tryin to probably escape a seal i saw earlier. kinda cool to see. and then i caught a freakin commorant and was wrestling with the little bastard for a while and i missed the rest of the show

Nebe,

Gannetts are diving / saw them Monday ><><>:fishin:

I,m going into winter fishing mold .

Received a notice @ 5;30 Weds evening that the fisherie was closing on Thrusday >>>>> DEM:wall:

pretty good one last week. big blues on sea herring and mullet.

Just back from an extended lunch break on the south shore of RI and saw not a bird nor a fish. I got did, however, get momentarily excited when I saw a cormorant rise with a cunner in its mouth.

Seen a few small blue blitzes but nothing special or of any size

Nothing up here on North Shore..... I sure do miss them. Was always the bittersweet sign of the beginning of the end. Now it's a few from blindcasting luck and a lot of skunks that slams the door shut.....

I'd take a look at some RI beach cams if I were you.

Some where, right now, there is chaos...

I have a feeling it has to do with lack of peanut bunker, I haven't seen any in the last 4 years

I've seen some good blitzes, through my binoculars, about 500 yards from shore. :wall:

I've seen lots! Mostly in the last 3 to 4 weeks, head to ri BEACHES that have sand, or rocks.

See how beaches is in caps?

Not hard to figure out.

Don't know where your located but I saw a EPIC fall blitz last week all fish were between 32 to 40 in. at my feet. They were feeding on peanuts and there was alot of em. First time i've seen em in the past 3 yrs. The best part about the trip was I went out with one of my buddies who has never hit the surf before and he got to witness it. The expression on his face was more epic than the fish... That morning will be embedded in my head for awhile.

You never forget days like that, we live on the No. shore in Mass

I guess im the only person in RI that hasnt seen anything accept a small Blitz that i wouldnt call it a Blitz and to add insult i couldnt reach it anyways.! I have been doing ok at the Ditch the past few weeks. So if anyone is board * cough* hit me up!

L.C. last sunday

Epic on the Vineyard right now :rotf2:

Have Yet to See a Fall Blitz

and not for lack of trying.

How's about you ?

Silent Autumn: A book that should be co-authored by Cow Tamer, Sauerkraut, and perhaps many many others. At the very BEST, I am logging one big hit/one chance on a substantial beach trip and hours. I'm somewhere every day (nite).

You couldn't have sid it better, Mr. CT.

Something is wrong here. IMO: look no further than the legal commercial sale of striped bass, somewhere. Guaranteed, the fish will find their way to that geographical, legal somewhere

I have seen several blitz's this fall. The week before last we had several afternoon days in a row in canal with incredible top water blitz, birds, bait and fish that went on for hours but in middle of afternoon so not many people were there. Fish were a challenge to hook and on small side but they were there. Off of several CC Bay beaches the same went on at daybreak and dusk. I got into one in the tin boat and saw or heard of a few more from shore. Then the SW winds came and it all seemed to die. I fished every day this week and did not see much and believe me I looked in a 25 mile stretch all week. . Just the change yesterday of wind direction started some action, although not blitzes there may be hope in those locals. I kind of think all this crazy unrelenting wind this fall may have a little to do with screwing things up from normal and it is only a day from Nov.

I got into the afternoon dusk buffet at () $#%& yesterday. My shoulder hurts. 10-12 pound fish all afternoon. Not one blue.

Lots of folks who Buzzards Bay and points south are having a slammer fall. The rivers have had lots of great bait and I can't say I was aware of that last year.

Plenty of blitzing going on this morning.....seeing as how the shore=bound togging wasn't cooperating....:smash:,,,, I had to settle for this........

i haven't seen any fall blitzs in the last few years,but almost all my fishing is done in the dark right up until i quit fishing.no lack of fish in the areas i fish.

Had ten days worth not 15 miles from your ancestral home. Nights and days.:biglaugh: Even had several 15lb+ bluefish have the audacity to chew up one of your Pikies.

Em,i just got back from there via the cape,had some nice fish one early dawn at my favorate inlet,hit the End for some smaller fish.would of stayed longer but i had to give all my money to a ford dealer to fix a broken brake line.had quite a few smaller fish way north.looks like it is time to ski for me.

With the water temps, looks like I have till around Turkey Time.:)
Nice quiet very few peopled Federal sand. Was hard to believe the bait in the water; big bunker, small bunker, juvi weaks, mullet, sand eels, snappers, shad, and white bait.

Have fun in the snow!!!

I agree with this guy.

Seen alot of action in Lynn Harbor and Nahant with topwater blitzes on Sat and Sunday October 30th and 31st. Found a huge school of pogys in the harbor by first tri-pod snagged a few and live lined but no takers.
