South Shore trip; SB posts
 

Rented a boat on North River yesterday, tried Gurnet area from shore,
Green Harbor jetties. Trolled T & W, threw chunks, plugs, went to multiple
good locations, not a bite. Guys, the SB fishing has really gotten lousy lately.

On another note.....when looking at the board these days, I rarely
see posts about SB fishing any more. It's all about other peripheral
stuff or personal info. I mean, I'm not against that (I'm aware that
this is very clubby board), but it would be nice to read more stuff
about actual SB fishing (without spot burning, of course). I mean,
is anybody catching any SB now, or is everyone fishing for Tuna?

I don't know what to say except that you are correct. I think a lot of what you are looking for has migrated to FaceBook.

I have never seen so many pictures of small bass as I have on FB. It seems every jamoke who catches a 34" bass (never state pounds cause they don't know about pounds) post a picture of it on FB. Internet heroes is all I can think.

I refer to FB as Crack book,to much maintenance it will suck you dry,constantly needing updates. ..need more up dates...must post pics of my food,kids,fish and poop!

Bob, I agree. It drives me nuts. I do it mostly for the family and not too much either. I have posted 6 pictures in the last 30 days...all of deer. I have a niece who post pictures of what she is having for LUNCH. this morning she posted 91 pictures of here kid.

91 PICTURES!!! Get a life!!!

Sorry about the no fish trip,,, I've had a few! LOL

Also sorry to hear about all the activity posted on FB and not here,,, My time spent here is time well spent IMO but enough time spent on line, other stuff to do....
FB can't be helping S-B hey?

the surf in my neck of the woods has sucked in a big way last few weeks

Last month was very productive 60+ fish all on the last half of the west tide (canal)all on eels,the last few weeks I've been annotated with family chit,I went to the Cape this weekend camping and brought the Stix but didn't wet a line.I did hear it was kinda sloooow.

Slow in the surf Sunday night in SoCo. We fished West and talked to a bunch of guys who were renting a house in Weakapaug. They said there had been some fish on the beach during the day Sat. Most were 15 to 20# with 1, 40#+ mixed in.

Screw spot burning, ok? If you have a story to tell, go right ahead. If you have pictures, even better. if it makes you feel better, don't mention where you were, and use camera angles to avoid the inclusion of shorelines. That's it, problem solved. Now let's hear the stories and see the pics. Spot burn.... Gimme a break. And Facebook? I don't even understand that shib. Don't want to. I don't give a rat's ass what people are up to and I don't care to inundate them with my business. Although, I can understand why people use FB to post fishing stuff these days. It seems fishing has become "fashionable", and posting a fish for all to see is gonna get you laid or something, right. Maybe earn you a friend or two? Dumb dumb dumb.

There are some really big fish around in the surf. Just look at the go.tight scores.

Last week after the storm was some of the best fishing I've ever experienced. I haven't been able to get out the last 5 nights, but my buddy has been able to stay on them. Plenty of big bait around, too.

that fishing was pretty good!!

Flip the white pencil out 30 ft, catch 20-30# fish. All morning. Insane.

I am jealous. Been too busy with other stuff. Good going.

White Pencil??? don't you use lures anymore????:rotf2::rotf2:

LOL, it's actually been an awesome plug bite this year, day and night. SS darter and bottle has been killer at night. Guppy pencils and bucktails by day...

Bet I work with some of the relatives of your Appalachian workers myself.
Row faster ! I hear banjo music.

working with Cape Codders for the last 30 years has turned my mind to petrified wood.

HEY,,, watch your mouth

Seriously! All jokes aside.

LMAO!! :)

Sorry Gupp. I don't want to stereo type them all but the mental midgets i work with are predominantly racist simpletons. . I do know a lot of really nice C Codders too. I just wish I was around them more than the nits wits I have to associate with on a daily basis. Hope I don't come across as bitter and judgemental. Also good thing they don't read. 😃

I hear ya.... LOL

The "real" anglers don't have the time or the patience for facebook.
They have more intelligent this to occupy their time and minds!!!

That's kind of how I see it too. You can waste incredible amounts
of time on Facebook. I got turned off on it a few years ago when
my niece kept posting multiple daily updates on my daughters account.
Like, what did you have for dinner Katie? When are you going to bed?
What did you watch on TV tonight? Let us know everything! TMI!!!!

And, I'm glad I got some people interested in posting on fishing again
too. Hope to read more like it in the future - here, not on FB!

Here is some fish porn from a few weeks ago with a little lesson attached.

Low tide, no current, over sand, less than 6 feet of water, small bait. Think darter. Worked real slow along the surface with lots of pauses.

The small bait brings in squid. The squid bring in big bass. The darter acts like a squid. Bingo!

Sorry for the spot burn, but this was over a week ago. Insane fishing right after the NE blow. All released....

Guppys getting abused
