My nuggets didn't fail me, at least for one night. :lama:

9/29 turned out to be a barnburner for my brother and I with about 25 fish beached between us and many were 20# class and up. Last two fish of the night were on a double header. My brother's fish was 49" and well built, which he put back. My guess is it was a low 40# class fish, which dwarfed the 35# or so fish I released.

Went back 5 more trips this past week but all we could find were small ones each trip. :huh: I should have just quit for the year after that night.

It's almost over....

Had 10 bonito yesterday in an hour and a half. The action has been constant for over a week now. Good size bass have been mixed in too. Haven't seen this amount of bait in years. Hoping some albies make a late apearance to close it out.

... edited, but still meant what I said.

it's sucked worse than any other year.

Last night at the east end was dead, I mean COMPLETELY DEAD!
My closest catch last night was catching another guys line that decided to start fishing 10 feet down current from my drift. :smash:

I still have a couple of days planned fo somefishing, and I plan on mixing it up to see which produces better:fresh or salt?

I'm just glad someone is catching something.

Worst two new moons in Sept and Oct for me. Lots of fire in the water might have contributed to it.

goosefish 10-09-2013 01:09 PM

It's been a desert. I've spent literally hours in the water the past three weeks and have seen very few bass. One decent fish at the Lighthouse before this wind set in. A lot of blackfish though. Some triggers. A few big fluke. Scup and more scup and loads of little black sea bass.

PLease don't drive and fish the Great Island Bridge. It'd be a huge waste of your time. Though some decent killifish and sticklebacks, maybe some snapper blues.

If its true and you really cant seem to "get away from the big bass", the crowds you are sending there now will certainly keep you away from them.

Great job, either way.

I apologize. I was kidding.

I'd say I am getting skunked about 80% of time in September, regardless if I try back bays, Montauk or up front
yup, that bad

For what it's worth I fish East Shinnecock and it has been dead as far as bass are concerned (inlet and the beach). Cocktail bluefish and that's about it.

As far as I know..no Fall run this year...

ilovetwofish 10-09-2013 03:37 PM

Well, I fish those areas you mentioned allot because I live close by and know how to fish them. Those area's just like most in RI have been terrible this fall with the exception of a couple days a few weeks ago. This has been the worst fall run that I have ever been part of in 15 or so years.
The problem now is tons of people will now be in said spots, whether there is fish there or not. You should never even joke about fishing spots being hot or cold. These places will be packed this weekend and you will be pissed when you can't get a spot.The few fish that might be there we wont even get a chance at them. Thanks allot!

goosefish 10-09-2013 04:12 PM

OK I deleted the post.

I don't think guys will be there. But I understand.

Chunkah 10-09-2013 04:27 PM

My fall has been horrible. At this point I'm not even sure I can blame it on the company I keep. The few days I knew where to be and at what time I couldn't be. Overall it has been an exercise in failure. One of these days I'm gonna figure this sh!t out.

Numbskull,since my head is in ahole,i would love to borrow your high horse so i could look down on others like you do.

bart 10-09-2013 06:56 PM

please, some of your responses are less than welcoming.

ProfessorM 10-09-2013 07:01 PM

I'm not telling till December..:hs:

5/0 10-09-2013 07:03 PM

This has been a very productive fall,the best I've had in years.

they may not be welcoming,but i don't look down on others because of how they fish,when they fish or if their views differ from mine end of story.

Well you are very much mistaking, not that I need to explain myself to you! But if you must know I start fishing at dusk and finish a little after dawn every weekend, if I didnt have to work 45 hours a week I would be fishing more. Not that there is anything wrong with fishing easy spots in the daylight. You dont even know me so watch what you say. If you would like to say hello in person I could pm you exactly were I will be this Friday night.

Lets hit the reset button here... Starting to look a lot like another site right now. Sarcasm can be lost on the Internet and is most likely responsible for a few of these posts... Bad fishing has made a hot button into a bunch of people.

Deep breaths everyone...

I just got in from fishing down to the west. One small blue, one small bass. A nice night to be out.

This whole thread has gotten queer. Except for 5/0's post. That post is gay. But it's gay in a happy way, not gay in a meet at the route 3 rest area sort of way.

Twofish.

I objected to you piling on top of goosefish (whom I don't know but like his humor), after someone else had already objected to his obviously sarcastic post and after he had deleted and then apologized for it. That seemed totally unnecessary so I zinged you for it, which was also totally unnecessary, but at least helped lifishvt's self-image.

I am sorry and good luck Fri night, I won't be joining you, but thanks for the invite.

johnny ducketts 10-10-2013 06:24 AM

My fall run has stunk. Am I missing something? I thought with the recent furlough from the govt shutdown, I'd be able to go out and fish hard. I only have 1 blue that threw the hook half way in ,since my new govt sanctioned non payed vacation was imposed on me. At least the house has never been cleaner and I'm finishing plugs.

I don't know why all the RI people just don't make the ride to the canal. Perhaps a sword fight between Numby and LIFishVT can be arranged for entertainment. Followed by a towel snapping contest emceed by Fishbones.

A post from Sea Dangles?Man has this thread hit rock bottom.

The pole smoking was just that one time down in P-town. And if memory serves me, you didn't seem too upset then. And for the record, they weren't crabs. They were sand fleas.
