If You Could Only Make One Cast.......
 
If you were going out fishing and only allowed to make one cast to catch a fish.....where would you choose to make that cast???? And no smart alec answers like "In The Water"...:doh: Looking for a spot or an area in general that if you could only make one cast to catch a fish......where would you choose to make that cast???:confused: I would have to say.....Fourth Cliff, Humarock...high tide....red/white pencil popper....rainy day in May!

The first week of October, last quarter moon, two hours before low tide at the bar in front of Race Point light with a black w/ red around the eyes Bassmaster Needle low tide should be around midnight. Oh...... that's the perfect place when conditions are right and those are the perfect conditions.:drool:

fishweewee 11-04-2003 11:23 AM

South Beach, MV. Won't say exactly where or what conditions, but if I keeled over on that beach in the Fall I would die a happy man.

2nd week of May, Holyoke MA, sunrise, Bass Assassin (6" Albino shad) weighted with 3/4 oz Kalins jig head. Blammo! 6 more months

redlite 11-04-2003 11:42 AM

In Boston there is this big tidal pool that is just loaded with fish.....I think it is at Aquarium Beach or something.....Can't miss there.:laughs:

fishweewee 11-04-2003 11:47 AM

Yeah, the one located next to the Marriott Long Wharf, right? :hihi:

redlite 11-04-2003 11:53 AM

l.i.fish.in.vt 11-04-2003 12:54 PM

if size didnt matter, Pamet at low, with live sandeel.

BigFish 11-04-2003 01:06 PM

Size does not always matter!:blush: At least for this question!:hihi: :laugha:

Notaro 11-04-2003 01:12 PM

One last dunking herring at Rockport before it gets too cold. And maybe I might include clams and some cod jigs.

schoolie monster 11-04-2003 02:26 PM

The nw side of a certain rock island in outer boston harbor the hour before or after high tide... july. It was pretty much money for about a month there.

If I had one cast, I'd lob a herring in there. Let 'em swim, that could be a long cast.

No, I'm not sayin' which island.

Slipknot 11-04-2003 02:57 PM

Only one cast is gonna require bait, so therefore I would cast a lobster tail into the waters off Cuttyhunk just as there is about to be a big storm coming.

CAL 11-04-2003 06:51 PM

Herring at a certain hole in a certain spot in Cohassett couple hours before low.

foberg34 11-04-2003 08:01 PM

comon guys, using bait is practialy cheating. you could leave it out there all day. weekapaug beach, midnight, late october, new moon, 2hrs either side of high tide, dannys swimmer.

Backbeach Jake 11-04-2003 08:15 PM

Out-going at pamet with a swimmer, it'll swim for 5-6 hours!

MightyMouse 11-04-2003 09:20 PM

Plum Island, at the tip of the jetty, just after the tide has turned from peak high (low seems to be the time of riot on the river) on either quarter moon in late May. Bucktail jig. I'm picking this technique, not because I've done it, but because it's one of those things I'd love to learn to do. Plus, the idea of hauling a big bass from a ripping current off of a jetty does have a perverse romance to it;)

Goose 11-04-2003 09:24 PM

I would cheat and cast an eel and when knowone is lookin cast a live pogie:D

beachwalker 11-05-2003 06:17 AM

green can. In the the channelon an outgoing with an eel or herring. Drop it up current and drift by the can.

No Brainer from mid May to November. Makes Bass fishing look easy.

Chumbag 11-05-2003 10:03 AM

Montauk point on the first Nor'easter during the second half of October with a white bucktail.

richs 11-05-2003 05:22 PM

one cast
 
Breezy point, late April, top of tide, bunker (pogie) head.

denport 11-05-2003 06:35 PM

Chatham rip, mid-April, chartruesse 6" sluggo, cast out and jigged back. It's worked the last 2 years. Why fight it?

FishChick 11-06-2003 05:52 PM

Ohhhh :blush: Is that because you had such a good time with your FishChick at Hummerock in May?? :love: I will have to say mine would be in Wellfleet at sunrise with my Bigfish :beat:

beachwalker 11-06-2003 06:28 PM

It worked at Chatham this year ? :laughs:

No offense. This April sucked :mad:

Tonight on the other hand ? Hmm....... Incoming, bit of a change in the air. Got a couple of hours to kill.....

OK, twist my arm. I'm going :D

bassmaster 11-06-2003 07:53 PM

My sacred rock in may on a flood tide that slacks out at 9 pm on a building moon with a tan and pearl white danny cast at "the river" and the rock where bertha came from.
the cast would be over the rock just up current and the plug would wiggle so enticeingly sexy and just as it Hit the lazy side of the rock. Bam and a 15" tail goes down and the fight is on with a run straight out and then fight to get it in as My cut down 136 2F is doubled over and the squidder is just making that vhhtt vvhhttt sound.
the bass takes Me around a rock and I have to winch it with #40 Mono peeling in half so I bacl the drag off and let her run and nagotiate her out of the rocks.
and as I land this first fish of the Year.
in My best Mental voice as some one would ask Me ......
why You let it go.
Just practicing:D
