So who is still fishing the Fall Run?
 
Are you done?

Still at it?

Mostly given up but waiting for Reports?

What's a Fall Run?

Give up, NEVER - Fish all year!

I fished 3 hours Sat AM not counting 2 1/2 hours R/T travel and then another 2 hours Sat night in pouring rain not counting another 3 hours of travel. I am still at it. I will be till around the 2 nd weekend in Dec.

Can you say Die Hard?

Bocephus 10-26-2009 10:28 AM

not putting in a lot of effort, but I cant say that Ive hung it up yet.

bassballer 10-26-2009 10:40 AM

3rd week in november is when I will put the gear away for the winter. Until then ill be going out. Maybe not with the same intensity but ill be fishing.

JohnnyD 10-26-2009 10:42 AM

Done with the canal.

Off to hunt somewhere else for the next few weeks.

Still getting plenty of casting practice :laugha: I've given up on the notion of actually catching anything though.

Will likely keep at it for another month or so:musc:

JFigliuolo 10-26-2009 10:47 AM

Home life dictates I get out ~once a week. That really outs a crimp on Fall Fishing as it is WICKED spotty this year.

I'll get out when I can unless Things tick up where it will be worth being in the dog house. So I'm a report watcher for now.

JLH 10-26-2009 11:12 AM

I won’t hang it up until after Thanksgiving weekend at the earliest. Starting to cut back on the number of trips though, my last trip was Friday night and it was pretty slow only had a few small fish in 5-6 hours of fishing. Hoping to do some more blackfishing as well before winterizing the boat if my schedule and the weather cooperate.

spinncognito 10-26-2009 11:12 AM

Casting Practice- well said. At this point if a fish actually went after my plug I would be too surprised to set the hook.

I'll keep fishing but slowly transition into the not-too-exciting but very-tasty activity of smelt fishing. Almost always catch at least a few bass in November but the way this last week has been has got me wondering...

Flaptail 10-26-2009 11:21 AM

Still at it.

Like the years past, 2nd week of December then trout fishing until the water gets stiff, if no stiff water then trout fish till April with waders on.:uhuh:

doc 10-26-2009 11:21 AM

i am back at it after a 5 day hiatus...

Finaddict 10-26-2009 11:50 AM

Still pursuing, but spotty at best -- although my annual frenzied state is growing stronger by the day as the season continues it winddown ... hopefully November will warm up a bit and keep it going into December like a few years back ...

BigFish 10-26-2009 11:56 AM

Fished my azzzzz off the 3 of the past 4 days....we are talking several spots and many hours......probably around 20 hours.......1 tiny, little, mini, itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, microscopic dink!!!!!!!:wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

5/0 10-26-2009 12:30 PM

Still at it & I'll give it a go for another few weeks:fishin:

ProfessorM 10-26-2009 12:44 PM

Sat at the Herring run parking lot today in the nice warm sun this morning on one of those park benches around 10 am bumping into canalman, luds, and hunan, only people I saw at canal. No fish breaking and did not make a cast. left at noon. Was hoping for something on the east turn. Nutin. Still going to give it a try for a few more weeks, but not just at canal. Still hoping for a few days of southerly winds so I can take tin out front of Sandy Neck but doesn't look too good for that this week. Maybe Numbskull will ask me to go out off the islands for a last ditch effort like last year. That was around Nov. 7th I think. I hung it up after that.

BigFish 10-26-2009 12:53 PM

I was cape side this am Paul......dead as a door nail!:smash:

FishermanTim 10-26-2009 02:58 PM

I've hung up the gear 'til next year.
I'm shifting my attention and energy over to fresh for trout and the coming ice season.

In my ledger this will be the season that wasn't!
It all began with the spring weather and climaxed with two weekend nor'easters.

PRBuzz 10-26-2009 03:29 PM

B Harbor is now definitely done, not even a nibble today, unless you count the bluefish biting my pollack in half. Time to hit Cuttyhunk tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Slingah 10-26-2009 03:29 PM

I plan on going for a while still...might do some traveling to catch...work is slow and I need to stay occupied.....
got 1 @ 36" on Sat.

eskimo 10-26-2009 03:41 PM

keep going until I don't stand a chance. Slowed down this previous week but still going out every night.

saltwaterhabits 10-26-2009 03:45 PM

Not cold enough yet to flush me out....Picked up a few fish in 'gansett last week and someone else pulled a 30 # out of the same are.. And if it counts, a nice Tuna last week off-shore.
I'm just not ready to pack it yet.Besides I buy too much gear in the off season...Mike

tattoobob 10-26-2009 04:18 PM

slow eddie 10-26-2009 05:00 PM

still going. one never knows

numbskull 10-26-2009 05:16 PM

Still plugging away at it.

Doublerunner 10-26-2009 05:32 PM

Still at it but pretty much narrowed it down to just a few spots to hit

nightfighter 10-26-2009 06:06 PM

Still catching. Was at dusk today No trophies, but catching sure beats the alternative......

Mike P 10-26-2009 06:14 PM

:hidin:

I had some of my best fishing for numbers (though not for size) last year on the weekend of the 8-9 of November. I left them biting both nights, figuring I'd end the season with a catch. The fish were shorts, but not micros--all in the 22" to 26" range.

Of course, I succumbed to the temptation of a 60 degree night the following Friday and got skunked.

BigFish 10-26-2009 06:15 PM

Its gonna be a damn long winter.....still taking my swings as long as I can!!:fishin:

bassmonkey 10-26-2009 06:22 PM

I felt more rejection than a telemarketer.
 
I only have gotten serious about fishing since getting laid off Sept. 4. Since then I have fished almost every day or night. I have only landed 4 bluefish and 1 bass. the last one was about 3 weeks ago. I have spent a good chunk of my unemployment checks on the next "magic" plug. I will keep fishing until I lose every plug and my unemployment runs out. My wife thinks I am an idiot.
