be careful I don't drill holes in yours!:biglaugh:

favor :devil2:

WTF!!! not much time left

I was thinking the same thing. Plus with another full week of heavy winds, the sea will be pisssed off for a few days after that, so there goes next weekend too.

I can't complain about this season and I batted 1000 on every personal trip, and charter.

Maybe quit while I ahead.....:uhuh:

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I rewired the boat trailer yesterday so she's ready to roll. Got another trip out of town next week then it's November. I'm done.

I pulled on Saturday, season over. Not a bad season overall, ok on the bass but plenty of seabass and tautog for the winter.
Now I spend my time at work, in hockey rinks and the occasional duck blind.

Im looking forward to getting into some Tog fishing. Hopefully I can get out this week. Wed doesnt seem to bad.

This week not looking to great as well!

I pulled last tuesday, looking at the long range was enough for me to make the decision, it's been slow ( for large) up north for awhile..... I winterized and covered the boat Saturday.. it's alot more pleasurable to do it when you can still feel your hands.. in my youth, I've fished PlumIsland ( and caught large) as late as Thanksgiving.. but fishless days outnumber blitzes... after 40+ years of do this I finaly figured out.. a good run is better than a bad stand... April will be here in no time.

That settles it. I'm pulling tomorrow morning.

Pull it.
come fishing Saturday.

Jeanne will be happy if you bring home tasty dinner fish.....

November. Kids home for xxxxx I don't want to say but I'll have a house full. This coming weekend is gone.

You'll all be sorry biggest blitzes of the year happening now stop looking at the computer forecast and put your windbreaker on.
it's never over before thanksgiving.
Nows the time.

Paul, the back is what it is. I go for an MRI this week so hopefully it's just precautionary. It feels a bit better today so hopefully, I can't miss the tog bite w/Rockhound. I'll fish like his grandpa did sitting down.
next week looks nice hang in there for another week or so, you'll be sorry and it's a long winter
hope all is well with you.

Got a call from a friend who lives in Marshfield; fish hammering bait within easy casting distance all AM.

What a bunch of quitters !
I don't haul till after thanksgiving.

I don't put the cover on until Dec!

Doing a bit better. Feet hurting but been back working and was back on boat for charters, though with this wind had to cancel and reschedule a few trips and the one we did do sunday am got tossed around plenty

Good to hear George. Back pain is the worst and I have had my share in the past. Got to make a trip with you an 'Hound before done we are all done. Busy time coming up as I have the whole family home for the weekend. Even my brother flew in from Costa Rica.

Good luck with the MRI.

tell your brother from Costa Rica that you want to fly in for some mid winter fishing....

Rav, going to CR in Jan for bone and tarpon fishing.

Life is a choice !
Got a few more bass charters in the harbor we are trying to get in.
Depending what's going on a bit south may move boat in a few weeks down south to another harbor to be closer to the action.

agreed.. and I've chosen to spend my life and learn to fish one of the best big fish areas in the North east.. the season just ends a little earlier here....if I had to make my living off of my boat ( and I have in the past) I'd fight on until the only thing left were frost fish....catch 'em up.

the one we did do sunday am got tossed around plenty
:yak5:

I was out on my boss' 55ft viking that day just for a short jog to make sure the engines were running good. it was gnarly goin out, but reallllly fun goin back when he floored it :uhuh:

This weekend is shaping up just fine.

Doing a trip Saturday (South) and fishing for myself Sunday.

Hoping the weather man is BS'n us !!!!!!!!
