Good for you Kevin.

Its been steady for me, but more slow outings and skunks recently. Had five fish last night, but all were on the small side under 30". Three nights ago had one hit and one fish about 25#. The small fish everyone seems to be looking for are out in full force where I've been fishing. This doesn't mean they are abundant, but they're quite thick in my locale. Most of them can't take an eel down they're so small.

Summer fishing is here folks. Get used to a bit slower action for a while in most cases if you're shore fishng. Be prepared for the occasional blitz though...

last year there was a lot of griping on the fishing through June, then the first week of July came around and we had a new front page focused purely on July's big fish.

It has been slow for me but I have not been putting in the time. I have been traveling too much and now I am in San Francisco every week until Labor Day. I hope that Sept and Oct are good.

crappy, i haven't fished on the east coast at all.

im having the best season i have ever had.... last year i got bit by the striper bug didnt get a keeper untill november but caught tons of schoolies. this year after learning to fish the pogies, cast with eels and wood plugs ive been catching pretty consistantly. biggest is only 15 lbs but lots of fish over keeper size. hopefully my luck holds out through the rest of the season good luck everyone

CUTTY!!!
 

Went out with Christian and man, my arms were tired at the end of the day. The guy can really work the rocks! An amazing day - we released a 30 pounder since we were at the limit. Hail the tube and worm...

It has been a weird season for me so far. For one, I have not fished very often. I am lucky to do 2 outings a week. Damn gas prices are slowing me down for sure. The times I have been out, have been somewhat productive. Since the 3rd week of April, only 2 skunkings. Several fish right at 25 pounds and not an ounce more, and a lot in the 15 - 20 pound range. Nothing to brag about, but can't really complain either. I have been hitting a new spot discovered by one of my crew this past winter. It doesn't look like much at first glance, but has put out 5 - 8 fish per outing per angler every time we have gone. It is a sweet little spot where the wetsuit really comes in handy. It has been most productive on the rising tide, and completely shuts off on the drop. Need to scout away from it a bit more to see where the fish are moving off to. :boots:
