I did get what you meant Jim. Some of these guys have their minds in the gutter. Unlike you and I:wiggle: :wiggle:

Big Don.....you used to fish the back?????

In Ct. I will be fishing right into December. In my spots in western Ct. there are always some large left past thanks giving, decent numbers too. :)

Very interesting I have a mental note and will be following around piemma, jim sylvester, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, RIROCKHOUND, & JFigliuolo to all the 30 pound fishing spots :as:

Ile bite! Ile agree with every thing Eel Man says. Their are still allot of unanswered question to this topic. Answers that we may never know.
Where ever you fish, you should start sooner than you think, and stay longer than you would in the fall. I know this makes for allot of boring nights, but I think it may pay off to the right person in the right place. I don’t know where some of the fish I see come from. I have been at this for 46 years now. Are there any beliefs and or thoughts on the Canadian factor? Sorry to do this to every body. May be this should have been another thread. However, the topic has moved around to migration.

So do you think they hit the Gulf Stream and travel that way?

Bob, yes you can smell them! As well as bait, blues, and tuna.
As far as Stripers go, I have no idea what they are doing! I thought there may be some kind of silent boycott of me, with no replies to this subject. Over 1200 hits and not one idea. I am suprised.
Or did I open a subject that is tabu?

1300 hits, I would have thought this would have had some inputs from folks that live, sleep, eat stripers. Thanks any way! Is this just a rumor?

Take that one step further. 2 or 3 Years ago there was reported 250000#s of dead discarded bycatch bass caught in the Great South Channel (http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/nefsc/publ...s/crd/crd0409/)


There is your outbound warm water route

Wow! My head is spinning from that. It's not quite what I am talking about. I will try to rake this old brain and give you an insight to where I will go with this. I hope some will find it of interest, some will call it fantasy! I will try to make it a good read. I am still stunned that there are no comments, related to fish from the north.
