I will keep fishing until I lose every plug and my unemployment runs out. My wife thinks I am an idiot.

all wives think husbands are idiots, hey, it's what we do.:huh:

Boat not getting hauled out till dec 1, so not done for a bit more than a month.

SAUERKRAUT 10-26-2009 07:04 PM

I'm still fishing home waters until Nov. 10 or so. I agree it is a long damned winter; so, I make it a little shorter by doing some episodic commuting/plugging the R.I. coast until T'giving. In years past, my favorite has been: (1) catching a bass on my b'day, Nov. 16th; and (2) getting a good enough after MA season bass, photoing it and then bragging to Numbskull about it.

Tagger 10-26-2009 07:20 PM

I put 10hrs. in Sat/Sun combined .. 2 dinks to show for it .. I'm not even considering quitting ... its a long winter ..

I'm always grateful for anything that puts me to sleep in the winter.

BEETLE 10-26-2009 07:27 PM

vineyardblues 10-26-2009 07:29 PM

I saw mulitple groups of fish pounding bait off a beach somewhere between weymouth and Plymouth. Could not reach them but they were there.

Stewie 10-26-2009 09:31 PM

Did badly last Saturday, Kinda wet on the rocks. I'm not close to done yet. :wavey:

CaptMike 10-27-2009 08:29 AM

I'll fish the cape all year. Probably do one last striper trip over Thanksgiving then switch to bass/perch/trout. I fish the Chesapeake all winter for stripers

JoeBass 10-27-2009 10:28 AM

no more striper fishing (I would if I was closer), but last Sunday had the best trout day of the year, here in Vermont. Took my son for his 17th birthday. We had been skunked the 3 previous trips. Second cast he hooks the biggest rainbow trout I've ever seen....Broke off at his feet. Guessing 26-28 inches. But all was not lost....landed a dozen more trout over the next 2 hours. None as big, but all were nice.

eastendlu 10-27-2009 10:38 AM

I am south of you all so my fishing season is a bit longer so i will be at it until my hands freeze thru my gloves.Lots of bait around and the water is warmer than usual for this time of year.No big fish lately but have had some success.

Crafty Angler 10-27-2009 11:59 AM

I'm still at it - albeit at a more...relaxed pace

Figure I'm good 'til Thanksgiving but I'm gonna have to drive to the Mainland...:shocked:

Hey, Cap - no wisecracks about being surprised at me havin' an E-Z-Pass either...:hihi:

Hell, I may even do a commando trip to a UDL next month...:)

You know that God hates a quitter

I took a couple from the surf today somewhere north of the ditch.

roym 10-28-2009 02:45 PM

DONE - NOT YET !!
 
Fished incoming tide from beach North of canal last Thursday and was into a steady (like every cast) pick of bass from 16-30" on a variety of plugs and metal. Totalled 50+ fish in 4 hours. Weather and work schedule have stopped me temporarily but no thoughts of quitting yet. I just keep moving and casting moving and casting this time of year until I find fish

BassDawg 10-28-2009 05:08 PM

BTB - welcome to S-B

30+ = inches or pounds - just curious :btu:

BuckTail BILL 10-29-2009 01:07 PM

30+ lbs.. I was wondering if any angler has tried those rubber sandeels made by vision hooks?

Nope - look a little pricey for a jigged sandeel

Fall Run in Buzzards Bay
 
Still some decent stripers to be had in the bay.
Last nights efforts produced a 23# and 24#, both on eels, both released unharmed.
Just started using cirlce hooks again and they worked great!

This hurts. I'm standing on the other side of the bay looking across at you and I can't even find a dink. Knowing you're getting them gives me hope, however.

Islander77 10-30-2009 10:27 AM

ok you forgot the option of " still will be fishing when so cold you have to fish for 5 mins. then warm up in truck for 10 mins" I was fishing last year well into the single digits or no digits!!!! sorry ocd and cant sit still makes sucks to be me...lmao

ivanputski 11-03-2009 09:07 PM

I picked up a package of the vision sand eels at a show... they looke dnice... I asked the price, and quickly put them back... Nice artificial, but definitely overpriced!
