Surf Catches.....????
 

I 've seen a zillion little fish this year
Wondering on sizes of fish you all have been getting from the shore
Ive been out almost every morning and been getting small fish to just under keeper size....with just a couple legits mixed in
NOT looking for spots:hee: Just curious
thanks

same here... the last week has brought mostly 20-24 while before that was all dinks...

at least they are going up.. hehe.

Same here. Only been skunked once. Plenty of small fish. I went out last night with high expectations only to catch more 20" fish.

Been trying to throw bigger plugs to weed themout and they slam them too.:hs:

I'm gonna throw snakes tomorrow night and see what happens.

32"-42"

We been getting lots of cookie-cutter 34-38in fish, but enough bigger too

Nothing over 36" yet, but tonite is eel time...:uhuh:

About the same.

We have never seen so many fish between 30" and 40". I have 71 keepers and MrStriper has over 90. The majority have been from the beach. All the fish have either been on needles at night or poppers and pencils during the day. Early in the week I took my first 36", 18 pounder on the fly. :cheers:

Rocking and rolling
 

12 thumbs up Biteme....nice fishing :musc: Strong :cheers:

The dinks should have a cerfew, don't ya think!

yeah, I had high expectations this weekend also, but ended up with a bunch of dinks up here on the North Shore. Hey, it's better than nothing!! Next weekend I think they will be here...

all nites for me from here on out:skulz:
nice to see all the fish though

Been fishing the surf mostly evenings into night time with no action after dark up here (northshore) yet. Most of my fish have ranged from 15"-30" with one 20 lb bass, a couple at around 32", and one 32" cod. Hopefully this evening/night things will pick up after dark, the sun hurts my eyes.

a 36" flyrod fish is nice(!) but we're talkin surf-caught fish here, right??

My thoughts exactly. I saw way more signs of life this weekend. Hopefully the night bite will pick up along with the average fish size.

Big fish? Nothing over 30 pounds yet, lots of smaller fish 36 to mid 40 inch range but no big fish yet.

3 maybe 4 so far

Yep... did get one 31 pound fish Sunday morning on one of our Sleepwalker Spooks :happy:

All schoolies for me so far..hoping for large :soon:

:walk:I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere..

still no keepers :wall:

we got some fish like this one....25lb+

Some in the know have been doing real well (I'm not one of them) although I've picked up a few keepers.

congrats paul

good to see the pict

next time take the pict before you gut it makes it look fatter

lobsters, squid?????

squid and a ton of partially digested baitfish. Silversides, sand eels ???

Long skinny fish...
just dont ask him how it lost most of the scales on one side...
Good thing I know a few wrestling moves... :D

thats not something i want to think about

you and paul wrestling in wetsuits

:yak4:

No.. me and pauls fish... and waders not wetsuits...

:hs: You're killin me buddy...thanks for the picture though. :spin:

Most of my fishing is w/ plugs, plastic, jigs, or shiny metal, around late afternoons after work till sunset, and then into the darkness.

I have been to plenty of past productive areas..just not gettin' em.
(ALL DINKS!) :af:

If I had patience I would do squid/clams/mack bait on bottom but that is so damn boring to me...:sleeps:

I suppose I need to just dedicate "more time" to the night, buck up $$ and toss eels again.

I'm pretty convinced it's NOT what your throwing, but when and WHERE you're doing it. Most of my areas are not fishing as well either. I am finding fish, but not where I expect. Don't keep hammering spots that used to be productive, that are not producing right now.

Fishing has been fantastic with a multitude of fish in the 34-44 inch range. The slobs are around but not in huge numbers yet anyways. There is a ton of bait this year also which is a blessing for the surf guy. So far it has been a phenomenal year in terms of quality fish. Bronko- you cow slut. Let someone else catch those nice fish you crushed in the last week.
