As Tatto bob has stated, tough sledding here at Plum Island... last Thurday, I spent 5 hours dragging a plug through the drop in the mouth of the river... for my efforts, I got cold fingers,stiff knees , a runny nose 5 bass between 10-15lbs and 3 bait sized blue fish... average night this fall has been just about 5 fish but it's been tough, slow, COLD work... and for the most part, I've been the only idiot fishing..that same night I fished the turn and first hour of the rise with eels.. nary a tap... not even a dink...back at the dock, a smallpod of trout sized schoolies were popping YOY herring and shad drops behind the party boats.. but their numbers are far from what I normaly see this time of year...
Sunday, I was scouring the horizon at day break... a few terns circling, gannets did thier thing.. but there were no fish under them.. only sand eels... at 10:00 AM I called it a season... Last Tuesday, I had a decent pod of 20lb class bass north of the boarder, but it's a long cold ride, this weekends forecast weather should send them on their way to the cape for Flap to beat on... as for.. my boat is witerized and covered.. I've dusted off my lathe and the "next" season has begun...
Anytime I have to dress like this to fish.. I ought to be standing on ice.. not on the deck of a boat!
