ahh the ellusive steaker bath mat strikes agian :hihi:

you are [all] done //you old wanna be F $%^&*( :smash:

I'm gonna go cod fishing a few times in the next couple weeks.
Cox's ledge, the east grounds ?
I want a fat Thanksgiving cod this year.

Wife is pissed, nothing done on house since April (in the middle of a partial reno. project) so to keep peace in the beetle house, I will start to "switch gears" to winter mode and get the hammer and nails out.....:smash:

But I'm not putting the gear away just yet :faga:

...and where have you been hiding?

Now I am done. gave it one more shot tonight. NADA. Chasing canaries in a coal mine.....
See ya in April. Off to the bat cave to spin AYC for next year

It's over for me!!!
That Fat Lady is not only singing, she is screaming in my ears!!!
:as: :crying: :af: :bc: :hee: :hee:

Wow, Are there any fisherman here???
Still plenty of fishing here...

May make it out this week for one more night...
 

Then stick a fork in me... This fall sucked.

I may actually hit the surf down that way :ss:

We got guys in NJ who are crying that it's over hahaha :). You Rhody guys still have 2-3 weeks left I'm sure, maybe some large around still to boot ;)

Tony:
I had such a great year in the Bay on my boat. I just can't stay motivated to fish all night hopping rock for a skunk.
I know, I know, boat fish don't count but when I can catch and release 5, 30 lb + in a couple of hours on my boat, I just don't see the point of killing myself in the surf anymore.
41 years I in the surf has finally started to catch up with me. Knees, back, legs all hurt in November. See you in the Spring. :wavey: :wavey:

I will probably fish for another 2 weeks and then I am done.

I'm done, Sat we had a few small bass and a few blues to 12 lbs in R.I. but like most tough fall on the cape and soco. Mostly small and you had to work for them. Still hope to try a cod and/or blackfish trip or two the next couple of weeks, but the rod rack are put away till next season.

Never....
They can take our lives but they cant take our Fishing!!!!!!

Actually I'm winding down, the water is still very warm, but without bait = no good fish, so I'll keep pluggin along for another 2 weeks.. after turkey day I'm almost done, except for blackfish...

not done yet- but i'm not holding out much hope due to lack of bait.

I hate to say it but I ...think...that's...all...folks.
Well at least for me, unless I take the big ride to Joisey.
I have a hard time driving 10 hrs to catch rats never mind a skunkin.

All done. Kid can't get another weekend off for a couple more weeks and I'm tired of catching soooooooooo many small fish. Bad year for big fish for me. :sick:

I'm going mackerel fishing in the Canal this week.

Nothing to do but to be done with my season. The horror. The horror.

Nothing to do but to be done. The horror. The horror.

Unless we make a ~T-Day-ish dawn bluefish run......

have been catching schoolie fishing lite tackle and having fun if weather holds going to try till end of nov.

I've had a very productive past few weeks, much better than years past. And in years past I've fishied into late december.....So got plenty of time to go!:boots:

I just brought my gear to the storage unit today. There were a few tears.:err: :crying: But trout fishing is still very good! Right? At least there is a tug on the end of my line. Besides, it's almost April!!

But.... I have relatives moving to the Myrtle area in a couple of months. Woo-hooooo!:bounce:

Going out in an hour or so and beat on some fish....Buddy of mine just had some to 44lbs...Some awesome weather!

I'm done with striper for the year.

I might try to get out to do some ice fishing over the winter.

I am not done till there is snow to ride on.

canalman and I were talkin about it the other night as us and Redcrabber pulled our pork for a while.
We have never felt so defeated so early in the year.
The weather is so warm and fishable and dark, but the waters around us that are usually prime time right now still look like a large regular Dunks coffee. It has been brown for over 2 weeks now since that big storm. and the reports from further south (or west) are pretty dismal as well.
sad to say, but I think the fat lady has sang......
but then agian, I will let you know in a little while. I still got a dozen select eels that I have somehow managed not to kill, so I either gots to swim them, or free them (or decorate some cars)....
I'm off for some more punishment...Tonite is THE NITE. It has GOT to happen...or its "Plan B" sesaon fo me.......
ad to say it,
