Question If You Could Only Make One Cast.......

If you were going out fishing and only allowed to make one cast to catch a fish.....where would you choose to make that cast???? And no smart alec answers like "In The Water"... Looking for a spot or an area in general that if you could only make one cast to catch a fish......where would you choose to make that cast??? I would have to say.....Fourth Cliff, Humarock...high tide....red/white pencil popper....rainy day in May!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Thumbs up

The first week of October, last quarter moon, two hours before low tide at the bar in front of Race Point light with a black w/ red around the eyes Bassmaster Needle low tide should be around midnight. Oh...... that's the perfect place when conditions are right and those are the perfect conditions.

South Beach, MV. Won't say exactly where or what conditions, but if I keeled over on that beach in the Fall I would die a happy man.

One last dunking herring at Rockport before it gets too cold. And maybe I might include clams and some cod jigs.

The nw side of a certain rock island in outer boston harbor the hour before or after high tide... july. It was pretty much money for about a month there.

If I had one cast, I'd lob a herring in there. Let 'em swim, that could be a long cast.

No, I'm not sayin' which island.

Only one cast is gonna require bait, so therefore I would cast a lobster tail into the waters off Cuttyhunk just as there is about to be a big storm coming.

Plum Island, at the tip of the jetty, just after the tide has turned from peak high (low seems to be the time of riot on the river) on either quarter moon in late May. Bucktail jig. I'm picking this technique, not because I've done it, but because it's one of those things I'd love to learn to do. Plus, the idea of hauling a big bass from a ripping current off of a jetty does have a perverse romance to it

green can. In the the channelon an outgoing with an eel or herring. Drop it up current and drift by the can.

No Brainer from mid May to November. Makes Bass fishing look easy.

My sacred rock in may on a flood tide that slacks out at 9 pm on a building moon with a tan and pearl white danny cast at "the river" and the rock where bertha came from.
the cast would be over the rock just up current and the plug would wiggle so enticeingly sexy and just as it Hit the lazy side of the rock. Bam and a 15" tail goes down and the fight is on with a run straight out and then fight to get it in as My cut down 136 2F is doubled over and the squidder is just making that vhhtt vvhhttt sound.
the bass takes Me around a rock and I have to winch it with #40 Mono peeling in half so I bacl the drag off and let her run and nagotiate her out of the rocks.
and as I land this first fish of the Year.
in My best Mental voice as some one would ask Me ......
why You let it go.
Just practicing

Bassmaster, you are a poet. I'm going to print that and hang it somewhere in my workshop..

reminds me of one of my favorite fishing spots where I met up with wee wee.
