P.S. there are big fish around, dispite what you read on this board that its time to hang up the rods. Take my word on it. Not everyone is mowing them like 1981 but they are here. This is the time of year you want to push yourself for the trophy fish. The water temp is 59 and the fat lady has not even warmed up yet. We nearly a month of fishing left, don't pack it in.

I don't know what 81 was like (I was 13
) and I just moved down here so my T-day Rhody fishing has little to go on it but here's what we have not had:
No hurricanes (but we've had some weekend storms)
A prolonged cold snap
Cold Ocean temps
What we've had:
Alot of warm SW winds
Warmer air temps
Warm water on the oceanside
And I'm told some bait (haven't seen too much
)
And still pushes of fish on the Cape and in Boston waters. There are still big fish to the north and east. If the play inshore, there is still a fair amount of big fish coming...
3 years ago when Bill got his 50, there was a 63 pounder caught 2 weeks later, in November, at the Ditch on a piece of chunk bait. The air & water temps were a lot colder than now and the fish were screaming though... Now, they're out there and it can happen...
Me - I'm more on a tight leash than wanting to hang up the rods. I'm still hoping to get out a few more times before spending some time occasionally chasing holdovers...
IT'S STILL WARM OUT THERE!!!
Case in point, right now, outside my window, It's blowing from SW to NW, moon tide with some cloud cover!!!! Go Fishing!!!!!! I'm aching here inside the house on this damn PC!!!!!! There's fish out there!!!! Conditions are near perfect!!!! Go Fishing before all the Jersey Guys get them
!!!! Believe my INSTINCT
