Whales spotted in SoCo - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

fishgolf · 11-17-2007, 08:02 PM

Lots of bait and fish (bass and blues) migrating through SoCo today.
But to top off the day, two whales were hanging around about 600 - 800 yds off the front of Weekapaug Beach.
Huge! Even the small one was huge! The big one was huger!
Thought it was cool to see tuna migrating through 3 weekends ago in the big swells, but the whales topped that!!
So, that's my second post of the year

Last day of fishing for the year was memorable.
Hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Great. now I gotta compete with the friggin' whales.

Just a side note. Went to my November go to spot tonight. It can handle 3 guys tops. Got there and there are 5 trucks. I didn't even stop.
Everytime I see this I am more and more grateful that I bought a boat. I know everyone has the right to fish where they want and it's my fault because I was late as I went to church before heading out fishing. I just didn't expect to see a crowd in November at 29 degrees.

Funny I was there today and there was a seal there.He followed me every time I moved.Grrrr...The bonus is while walking to get away from the seal I found a nice shiny new AH plug in the wash.The seal followed me for a good half mile.They must have some good eyesight.everytime I glanced over at the seal he would look away and dive down.Left after walking a good distance and headed up rt1 to find a little slow action at another beach.All in all Harassed by a seal found an awesome plug and grabbed a couple bass in the mid 20's.Is it normal for seals to be in over there ?

Hi, Paul! Hope the surf treated you well this year when you tried!...

Here's my take on the crowded Lot:

At M. where I spend my Falls (at least since the Cape tanked & B.I. mostly too!)... Even weeknights there are always at least 20- 35 vehicles in the Main Lot(s)... every night!

That said: whenever I roll out of my vehicle/ nap at 2:30 AM on the "right" tide... even though my pet spots are an easy walk away... 90% of the time the exacts spots/ rocks I want to fish are unoccupied... & 75% of the time I'm completely alone!

Just because there are other guys there first... doesn't mean they'll know the "spots within the spots" as you do... & most times you will still get your spot if you park & try!

Esp. in Nov. there... Just my guess?

(Unless you're talking about a B'way mouth?-- then forget the above!)

Otherwise... to get back to the topic of this thread: whales usually mean/ follow Herring... no? About time they arrived if so!
