shooting stars
 

who was out between 12am- first sun friday in to saturday.


how many shooting starts did you count

never seen anything like it

I counted 41, then lost track

awesome

Funny, I was going to post the same thing. It was sorta like that 70's movie " Day of the Trifids" or something like that. Lost count over how many wishes I got, birthday presents, solving world hunger, peace, just to name a few.
They were intense, like bottle rockets on the 4th. Not just in one area of the sky.
The only other time I expereinced anything else like that was out on the vineyard in the mid 90's. So many shooting stars. Way too many to count.
BTW, I was fishing central CT this am when I saw them.

Probably were the Orionids...it's a major shower this time of year.

yeah, saw about 30. I wished for a 50 on each one....so much for the Disney tune.

You were singing Disney tunes while you were fishing?

That's so gay.

I wasnt, Jimney Cricket was on my shoulder and he was singing, "When you wish upon a star".

Cricket? That mother &%$@er owes me money :nailem:

Spence,

Already advertizing the Spring line?A little early it seems.

Jim;
I went back out at 330, walked your way at 430-5ish and no one home...
Saw the stars mjorly though, very cool...

Think about it...we have to source the finest abrasion resistant cashmere and pima cotton, advertise, get wholesale orders in, start manufacturing runs at our Italian plant and deliver product to stores all before the spring run.

To be competitive you must be well ahead of the ball, and trust me, the high fashion surfcasting industry is cutthroat.

I stand corrected.

The shooting stars were incredible. Some very bright white. An amazing site. Looked almost apocalyptic. I saw some last night as well around 2 am.

Saw one at dusk Friday to the ENE low moving down towards the horizon. Thought I was seeing things.

Back in my astronomy days we used to go out during the peak times and count them, you see a lot more when actually paying attention.

You've gotta love it when one is so big it casts shadows and you can see the trail for moments after.

I didn't see the ones you guys saw, but I've seen 'em in abundance and the are a sight to behold.:btu:

I almost ran into a channel marker around 4:30 AM this morning as I had my eyes on the skys. Lots of bright white shooting stars has I headed down the Bay.

56 degree water. Marked tons of fish in the deep channels. Water dropped 4 degrees since Thursday. Might be time to pull the boat and get back in the surf.

I saw probably well over hundred from Fri at 8pm till Sat around 645am in SOCO. It was getting light out and it they were still visible.

Many Saturday night as well from 10 to 2AM...

Told you to come with me in the surf last night...

I was at the eastern end of the canal and saw a bunch of them on Sat AM. At first I thought it was just something with my glasses and the lights, but then saw a couple of really bright ones go by - very cool.

Here in NH it was like fireworks. Never saw anything like it.

funny, i was going to post the same thing.

sat night after the cookout it seems every time i turned my head i saw something shooting across the sky.

at least a dozen that i noticed.

WeeWee - Saturday AM was significantly more loaded then Sat night. I saw some at night but at Oh Dark Thirty Saturday morn you would see several just during the course of a single retrieve... The only thing missing was the Quonny Northern Lights that happens on ccccoooollddd October deepnights

left @ 4:00 with a mesh bag of windburnt eels....couldn't dunk them fast enough before they dried up from the 30kt winds

went a couple miles south for first light

Saturday night saw them every time I looked up at the sky ... it was cold but it was cool. This pretty much took place from 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.

Sat am before the sun came up the sky was unbelievable..

a hit of acid would have made the show last longer. At least thats what I was thinking and then cast oops wrong spot lost plug .

I was out early saturday morning as well. Windy as heck too, but I wasnt even thinking about it staring at the sky. Lost my balance a few times gazing up and almost ended up in the drink. It took a few hours but I was finally rewarded with a nice keeper.

Mister Natural. Did I say that.....?

Pretty much the same out sat night. Did anyone catch that star that just exploded? It was shooting for a bit then BLAM blue and white light everywhere.
