still banging schoolies
 

...outside my office...on plugs (swimmers).

reports of some nicer fish being taken too ... on sea herring.

:cputin:

New York?

Where are you/what state?

southern new england, baby. :smokin:

heard a report of some 40 + inch fish taken from the surf consective nights this past week

exact reason why I have not put the gear away yet

i hadn't anticipated fishing to last up here thru jan (other than the usual winter holdovers) ... but with the unseasonably warm weather we are experiencing, i'm not complaining.

making up for some lost time earlier in the season. :hihi:

p.s. NY State season for striped bass is CLOSED as of December 15.

nice, man. behind ur backyard? RIT is the worst place for me to fish. there are a lot of fishes with parasies on their faces and lips if u catch ym drift.

joey, watch out for the crabs. :hihi:

There are still bigger bass around. :tooth:

is this an April Fool's thread?

No. I'd a posted a pic but didn't have my camera with me.

There are still fish around where I am.

hell yeah! i dont collect from their hidden rocks.:angel:

saw a school of something splashing in SoCo Thurs. - it is Jan. right?

well, i've seen fish swarming on herring in february (NY South Shore) before. shouldn't be a surprise.

Saw two Gannets working something yesterday down my way.

saw a lot of birds working upper bay yesterday.

I've been getting fish consistently in SoCo. Had 14 and 17.5 lbers on 12/20 and 12/21. Since then most of the fish have been smaller although I know for a fact of at least 1 40" fish that was caught withing the last 5 days in SoCo.

Heard of some keepers in the Great Salt Pond this past week.

It's in today's paper.

Saw the gannetts working again this morning.

No way, you can't catch fish this late:).

Ugh ... just stripped all the line off my reels the other day and packed everything up for the winter ... hmmm ....

Peanuts along SoCo shoreline
 

Reliable source had lots of peanut bunker close to shore last Friday.
Gulls and Loons chased them up on to shore. Gear was put away for winter so he doesn't know if there were fish with them....
Jeepers...
