hey MAKAI,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you fishing for Team S-B??
if you are, a fiddy would help out nicely!!!

congrats on yer Full Moon FEVER :claps: :claps: :claps:

I did too. I got some large too, my PB in fact, with two others not too far behind.

I am going to hit real early tomorrow.

That was a few years ago.
I am a catch and release guy for a while now, If one is hopelessly hooked it's on the grill, but that's only a few each year.
My main point was in reference to fishing the full moon.
You never know, though I prefer a nite as dark as my ex wife's soul.

I thought you were Team Striper all the way?

Agreed.

I'm heading out tonight, desk and all...:laugha:

Theres just a nagging pull that never ceases this time of year, I can't explain it. Next six weeks is why I exist from a fishing standpoint.

Its because this time of year anything can be possible. Sure, you probably will get larger in June but now you can have blizes of fish going nuts on the beach front, bait getting crashed by fish below and birds above. Schools of fish running the lane hard and fast. Trip over other fun fish like Albies and Bones. Beautiful mornings where the bite has run from the dark until hours into the day.

There is also a heightened sense of the end rushing up on you. The season is not bright and long, it is now shorter with an end measured in weeks, scattered with storms that may shut you down.

Besides, what better name is there for it than the Fall Run?

:uhuh::uhuh::uhuh:

Listen to the man!

Cap, that's beautiful...:bc:

It's also making old Uncle Crafty horny for fish...:humpty:

NOPE, not once in my short career with The Cup.
a coupla their muscles tried to persuade me once at
the Bloobery Factory last Fall,,,,,,,,,,,,not because of me~~~

i think it was motivated by their desire to have a player
that fishes from the NShore, perhaps?? besides they don't need
a schlub like me, THAT team is loaded with high liners :uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:

FUNNY stuff, MAKAI!

me three; or a cloudy, lightly raining Full.
some of my best bites have been during a
full or 1/2 moon that is darkened by the elements.

Lot of small bait around the past few nights. No sign of anything decent, just dinks to about 28" and rat blues making a mess of my eels.

However, it is good to see a good amount of bait close to shore again. I wasnt really seeing much of that untill that last storm passed and we had a few days of cool winds.

some of my maple trees are dropping leaves
getting close now, already beginning up north
I guess I should get my gear ready

full moon=:love:

It seriously does! It brings all the pre-teen love couples down to the beach in the middle of the night. I was a little suprised the other night when I hear some young girl and her boyfriend right behind me at 11:00 at night. :smash:

Hit the Bay in the boat this morning. First time in 2+ weeks. Temp has dropped 10 degrees. I was marking consistently 67 to 69 degrees. 49 air temp. Smoke on the water.

Went out last night.....first fall foray in full battle gear! I also had not been seriously fishing salt for over 2 months....it felt great to be out there....just a gorgeous night....but alas....no fish. Big bright light in the sky may have been too much.....my kingdom for the dimmer switch!!! Time for full burn out mode!!!:fishin:

The "corn" moon was full last night but even so it was smaller in the sky tyhan normal and the fishing wasn't good until the yellow needle went on also honorable mention to chartreuse.

fifty feet away from the water it was down right chilly and the coyotes were really howling up in the dunes.

Nothing big but many fish. I got the feeling.:uhuh:

Any tide now its gonna blow...I had some upper teen fish and one about 20# last night, but you can sense the change is upon us...I'm getting giddy...:deer:

I unbuckled a good fish early on then nothing all night. The moon was banging. I think after this moon fades it going to really heat up. But the feeling is definitley in the air. Last night i was doing the one more cast for 20 more casts. Just didnt want to call it a night in hopes for one big strike.......it never came.

After a very slow July and August the fishing the last six nights has been really good. Not sure where they suddenly came from but cooky cutter fish all between 40-42" have showed up in good numbers in the surf. The full moon hasn't seemed to bother them at all.

Same thing is happening down here too. They're getting bigger and more numerous each night.

Know what happened? Bass are phototropic. They move on the angle of the Sun.

While bait, temperature, wind, tide and structure all have a play in the movement, the deciding factor is Sunlight. Less Sunlight and more darkenss trigger a homing response that let's some primal reflex take over and tell the Bass that it's time to head South.

1 Rocks
2 fullmoon
3 bucket of eel
4 fish on!

best set of tides of the year for me, especially early in the week

AMEN to that my NShorian, bruthah!!!

i wait ALL year for these next three to five weeks, but
more specifically this and the next moon's windows of opportunity!!!
shore would like to sea The Cup extended to Oct 21st.
i'll be in ghost mode til Sun night~~~this YEAR could be THE Year!
:uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:
