Tough Week!!
 

I have fished my proverbial azz off for the past week......got one small fish to show for my effort!! Pretty tough fall! Are any of you faring about the same??:wall:

Yeppers...... same boat here..... I parked the boat in the storage lot, after yet another skunking... pulled my lobster pots for the season... and haven't decided if the boat is out for the season.... May take it out a time or two before winterizing it... or I'll just fish from shore.....

It does get discouraging.....:wall:

I'm envious, Larry.

Eek, it's worse than I thought, this may call for an intervention.

i heard he was thinkin about florida :grins:

heh heh heh

They are there, ya gotta find the bait. :hihi:

They were there....and there was plenty of bait...that was the problem!!!:smash:

Fish were really fussy last 2 days for top water plugging. Too much to eat may be the problem. It is almost like they know a plug is no no. I saw a plethora of canal sharpies singing the same tune so you are not alone. You need to follow Flap, Larry, he knows.

Had a great weekend. I was there for yesterday this time. Nice seeing you Larry. Picked up a few fish around the corner right after I saw you.

I hate you Casey!:wall:

Nice seeing you and the Mrs.!:)

Larry - been working my usual fall spots up here and only small fishso far. Have not seen any schoolie blitzing bait like prior years, this has been a strange fishing season.

They were finicky, had to change plugs 5 or 6 times/ different sizes at each
spot. An inch made a difference.

Maybe ya should have been fishin for lost pics. :huh: :hidin:

it is hit or miss

you want to borrow my lucky st croix hat. i put a little mojo into that "other" hat sunday. keep at it, we all go cold from time to time. switch it up and try a new spot/technique

Been fishing several spots "Lex".......it ain't the problem.

Dave......sorry I do not have the pics.....what can I do??

It has been Painfully slow, I have been lucky catching almost every time out but not slot

I missed out completely on Saturday but fished the Canal Sunday. Ever hear of the saying..."You should have been here yesterday"?

past 3 mornings probably saw 1000 fish break water combined ... all I got was exercise.. i suc at fishing but worse at golf ,, so here i am

Had some decent fish on eels this weekend(tied 3rd in the Habs:)) but worked my butt off in HEAVY surf for them. The only 2 fish I managed at the canal came on a white SS littleneck, BELOW the surface.

Nothin BF, the devil made me do it. :hihi:

been a tough fall for me
I can't seem to win, the fish seem to zig when I zag.

I have caught 6 fish this fall, only 3 in October.

suckiest fall I've ever had but I'm sure it must be my fault

Bruce I am saying the same thing must be karma

Caught 11 nice sized tinker mackerel at the end of Macmillan Wharf last night.:rotf2: My BIL was vertical jigging blues in 85=100 feet of water off Long Point. No Bass, no mas. Still a great weekend.:)

Had a decent weekend: Sunday loaded up black sea bass (getting big this time of year) and Monday boated a few stripers (with Niko). Sure glad there are alternative baits to pogies which are now harder and harder to find.
This coming week seems to be a tough week as there will be no boat fishing by this guy due to wind/wave forecast through the weekend.

I had a pretty good night Saturday, 6 teen size fish. Other than that though it's been pretty constant action on schoolies and blues.

? King of Worst
 

BF: Finally meeting you IP at Midway Mon. AM was, unfortunately , the highlight of my three day (the wife out of town), complete freedom, personal fishathon holiday. I spent half the night in places known only to Elizabethians. I roamed around CC Bay side. Woods Hole, Nobska, perpetually eyeballing the Canal. I am just at fever pitch that the bass run is swimming by me and I'll have to live with that stigma all winter.

I live here! I wager I have the lowest good catch rating per unit hour of a line in the water than anybody I know. I may be the Worst. It sure feels it. God! Numby and Flap caught some good fish AND look like they have pletny of sleep.

Alan the pleasure was all mine! Maybe we should get together and wash off the stink??:fishin:

Tough season. I have the skunk so bad right now that fishing doesn't even appeal to me.

Ive landed around 20 fish in the past two weeks, mainly sub legals but a few in the 30in+ range, all in the south shore. All i can say is slug-go

Not exactly. :chased:
