Septembers Torment!!!!
 
This September is a carbon copy of last September for me!!! MISERABLE!!!! I don't think I caught a fish all last September....and it was not for a lack of effort???!!!!:wall: This September.......just the worst and I have fished from shore, kayak and boat......and I have only caught 1 fish...September 6th!!!!! I have been out I have to estimate.......1 boat trip 4 kayak trips and untold hours at the ditch......maybe 10 trips down there!!! It culminated today with me showing up on "THE WRONG SIDE" and having to watch fish bust bait up on the rocks across the way!!!!! Just horrible!!!!!:bc: Thank Gawd I am done for this month!!!! I just hope October throws me a bone!!!!!!:wall::wall::wall:

JFigliuolo 09-29-2010 02:39 PM

Cry away big guy. I haven't wet a line in three weeks... no sympathy here.

BigFish 09-29-2010 02:43 PM

Well you got as many fish as I did....feel better??:jump1:

GattaFish 09-29-2010 02:47 PM

October will throw you a bone alright,,,,:humpty::humpty::humpty:.....:huh:

Sorry Larry could not resist...

Sept was a tough month for many,,,,,, I am hoping for some good stuff in OCT.....

BigFish 09-29-2010 02:57 PM

Right place, wrong time! Wrong place, right time! Wrong place, wrong time! Just looking for one "Right Place, Right Time!":jump1:

Always the bridesmaid.....never the bride!!!:wall:

If it was for bad luck.....I wouldn't have no luck at all!

fishbones 09-29-2010 03:20 PM

I too had a rough morning at the Ditch. I got one blue and snagged a juvenile tautog today. Friday is the first day of October. You can start with a clean slate and a positive attitude! I may take the day off and hit some places from shore if you're interested.

BigFish 09-29-2010 03:25 PM

I am going to drag my ass out tonight......try and get the stink off me!!!! Tomorrow night I shall usher September out and October in with an all nighter........I will get those bastards!!!!!:horse:

redlite 09-29-2010 03:30 PM

Larry, you are lookin in the wrong place.....might I suggest a point up your way that i used to fish with Matty and Joe........:fishin:

BigFish 09-29-2010 04:05 PM

Funny.....I figured it out!! Last time I caught surf fish I blew up my primary reel.....my Spheros 8000....and I have been using a 5000! Well my replacement just arrived in the mail......so its ready to go tonight! Lets see if magic happens!!!:jump1:

Raven 09-29-2010 06:12 PM

Good Luck Larry :wave: MAY THE spell BE BROKEN !

September was not shabby with a few 30s, fair amount of 20s. I've been off for a week plus with ear, muscle, pain, and time constraints. Going to be a few days into October before I can get back out :smash:

Sea Dangles 09-30-2010 06:52 AM

At least your feet are getting a break.

likwid 09-30-2010 07:06 AM

Between the weather, the crowds at MTK, the weather, the wind, the idiots at MTK.

September sucked.

RIJIMMY 09-30-2010 08:09 AM

you can replace "September" with 2010 and that bascially sums up my year. Its like a bizarre curse

Back Beach 09-30-2010 08:14 AM

September was hit or miss for me. Probably did 10-12 trips or so and hit decent fish about six of them. Lots of 10- 20# class fish and 7-8 fish in the 30-35# range. Last three trips have been busts, though...I'm done until October. :devil:

I got a tip from Flaptail last year about this time when I was getting zeros every night...he suggested I completely abandon my tactics and adopt new ones, try new spots, etc. That's pretty much what I've done and its paid off. Been doing more searching and tossing plugs versus eeling this fall so far. Had one good night with eels, but my biggest scores have all been with plugs in places I just learned this year.

.....And you're getting very good using those plugs........to cross up other people..............You are a master with a needle. You can sew up any line.........:gh:

I owe you a spool of 50# power pro...by the way it was a tsunami I used to trash your line, not a plug.

OR...right place and right time but I hafta leave and go to work (a la yesterday 0800 leaving D. Le. behind to catch 12 to 20 plus).

Larry, my entire 2010 season has been going like this! As I discussed w. you at Ditchside last Sun. And my driveway is 15 miles from the Canal in one direction; 16 miles from Cutty in the other. Just getting a single solid strike is becoming so rare for me that I am envariably not ready and I blow the opportunity. I can't even seem to trap eels this year.

Proof again that when God hates you he doesn't beat you, he makes you stupid and lets you beat yourself.
