Your Thoughts On The Fall Run!
 

Just curious, given the season so far, what your thoughts are on the upcoming fall run? Based on the season so far what are your expectations? I think its about to go off like a bomb!!:btu:

With the amount of bait thats been around this year I think this fall run will be one to remember.:btu:

I second that. With all the bait in the Bay right now, it has no choice but to be an awesome fall run.

Its already begun in some places. Last week in September/first week in October is usually best for me. August has been pretty strong this year too, unlike last year. Presence of bait is a secondary indicator to me as I've seen real good and real bad regardless of the bait present.

I think it has started....
and I am hoping for large to swim by my rock and take my offering...
I will be throwing larger plugs and eels...

Just re-spooled my reels. I'm ready! Bring it on! :laugha:

Up and running here on the North Shore. Working birds and busting bait have been seen every day this week. Local harbor chock-o-block full of bait. :wiggle:
Temps in the upper 40's at night have caused it to kick off early IMHO...

Hasn't started yet .. Last year the bait hung up north of us and they had a party while we starved .. Not a sniff "local" last night 12.00am - 4:00am .. if your listening Joe .. for catching my earliest keepers this year has been lame arse .. havn't put usaul time in with family woes either tho , ready to give it ell now

Wasn't happening where we were last night either.midnite to 6:30 crapola

Lotsa bluefish and working birds last evening.

tons of bait of all sizes in RI. fish are definitely starting to stage. weather permitting, should be a good one...

God I hope so...haven't been able to fish much lately and my spring was terrible.

-spence

You ain't kiddin'!Last night was the first time out in a long time.

2nd week sept. starts for me ...

Ive got high hopes.

me too

If you have anything BUT high hopes you should stay home on the couch!!!:hidin:

Please no hurricane.

ughh... dont say the word fall to me.... where did the summer go???

What's a Fall Run?

I'll take a wait and see attitude because its not good to get your hopes up and get let down.Many a year the bait moved way out of reach and all you could do is watch the carnage and hope that the wind would blow the bait closer.

Rent a damn Kayak man!If they are a couple hundred yards and you want a good day of fishing the edges of the schools!I'm sure you can hook up with someone in here to go out with ya during a blits or two.Hell if your in RI I'd go.

I agree, :love: we don't want to jinx it!!:uhuh:

Tons of bait everywhere here on LI:drool: :bounce: :drool:

FALL WALK
 

because runs happen to fast.:humpty:

agree.

hope to get a few large on pencils this fall.

Fall+Bunker=Cows

LOL i've been using a yak for over 10 years.But to me there is nothing like catching from shore.Plus i don't always bring the yak with me.

Like every year, it will be good for some, not good for others. Just gotta get out there and try to be one of the ones who has a good one. If we get mackeral or small blues near shore up here, I have a good feeling. If the mackeral come too late and its just peanuts, probably not so great (size wise). I'll just keep going with my usual nighttime routine and try not to get hung up on chasing schoolies, well maybe alittle bit at dawn and dusk.

Started already........and has been good.

im hoping its one to remember.
every spring i see all you guys talking about how its picking up but us guys up north still have to wait 2- 3 weeks, only because the majority of the posters are from ri and cape cod.. BUT the fall run, it's reversed... so i hope to post many big fish in the next couple weeks :)
