Hey Paul long time no see. I've been saying that for many years now. For me anyway it usually picks up around the 3rd week in August and slows up the first couple of September. During that time the bite on skins can get pretty good. Then is just drops way off like a switch has been flipped. Some fish stick around for a while, just not like the big schools eating as they go by. All on the west as well.

My wife calls it the dingy and has no interest in going out in it.

I took Paul out to the dark side in my fiberglass jetty many moons ago. Put him on some good fish if I recall. Figured he would have gotten a boat sooner...

Some very good fish Ross! And we also went surfcasting although I can't recall if it was the same year. I would rather surfcast than boat fish.

Glad to hear you were getting them from shore. I haven't even started yet. Guess the clock is ticking.

Ahh yes. I stand corrected: A great Fall Run is afoot. Instead of being skunked like in the last 3 trips to the lousy beaches that I monitor and fish-- I caught 19 bass the other night. Maybe No. 20 would be a fish greater than 28 inches; but this did not happen despite the great Fall Run.

That’s unfortunate. I know you fish traditionally big fish spots, but you might want to switch it up.

I held off on replying because my buddies were into fish up to 25#s (several between 15-25#s) the night prior to, and the following day, when you posted.

I haven't posted about the surf but I'm fishing 2 or 3 times a week like the old days. I've been into decent fish ( you know what I mean when I say "decent".).
No spot burns but SoCo on the East Side has been my "go to". So those of you who know me and where I fished 20 years ago, know where I am!

Alan have you given up on the usual hard to reach spots?

Probably. Fishless, Birdless, Baitless, Lifeless.
Just returned from a recon road trip to my Alma Mater. A readily visible biomass event difference.

Fished saturday night...got down to low thirties.... soaked an eel for a couple of hours and got skunked......done for 2020.......throwing these leaky waders and pos boots in the trash.

Driving to BJ's this am, I saw a guy walking along the street boarding white horse beach in Plymouth carrying a striper I'd estimate a maybe 20lbs, my guess is it came from the salt pond.

Over the slot or a fat fish?

Fatty but probably in the slot.

Awesome!

Everyone should pack up their gear and stop fishing. There are no fish around and the weather is cold. Lots of good stuff on tv to watch for the next 6 months.

Those saying there’s no fish left simply aren’t fishing or just don’t see a reason to fish if large aren’t readily available, which is fine, but to say there isn’t a Fall Run taking place is incorrect. Talk to anyone who lives by the water down this way and they’ll tell you it’s the best they’ve seen in 40 years.

I think you and I discussed the weight of the fish this year and how they seem to be similar to years ago. My longer fish have all been fat this year.
