Didn't think anyone fished eels at night for holdovers. Seems a little extreme to me. I'll wait till spring

FYI
There have been 3 young guys fishing eels upriver the last 4 -5 winters ..The 1st night they showed up we kind of snickered .
He who laughs last /laughs best ............ It wasn,t us .
I was there one night .were they litterly smoked my ass & sent me home .
That was then ...only thing I,ve heard about this year is from someone that met them & they had beed skunked for the season .
My largest holdover is approx 18# a few years ago .vertical jigging a metal

this guy has been parading holdies all winter around here. literally going into tackle shops and telling anyone that will listen  Nickname "Gabby". first of all if you get one, good for you, take a picture, maybe confide in your close friends. but purposely making it public is a no no. correct my if im wrong here ppl. Second don't kill them!!! wtf other ppl wanna catch stripers too. Third holdie spots are amongst the most well guarded secrets in fishing especially around here on the cape. obviously noone had the "circle of trust" talk with gabby when they showed him their holdie spot last winter.
BTW ive gotten a couple random "Hey whatsup with those holdie spots you know any?" messages from aquantances lately. F off dude im not tellin you jack. THANKS ALOT GABBY |
something clever and related to fishing

I agree. I think everyone knows spots that will hold fish year round. If someone puts in the time standing in 20+ degree weather to catch one, gab all you want. There was a time when I would and did. Now as I get older, meh. |

My good friend Tony Paliotti took a 38# Bass on March 2nd a few year ago in Salt Pond. Not a spot burn if you know Salt Pond. Goes from Galilee to So. Kingstown and must have 100 miles of shore line.
Tommy McGuire and I had Bass up to 20# a few years ago a couple of days after Christmas in So Co. Froze our nuts off

The days of cell phones have ruined secret spots forever.
I surf as well, you get up early head to your "secret spot". Get a few waves by yourself. Someone spots you and instantly you have 10 of your best friends.

Well they sure as hell are now lol!
And of course they're guarded. Typhoon do you know exact locations on the cape for holdies in chatham? And if you do, would you like to divulge your spots right here and now on the internet? Didnt think so
its probably the LAST thing that hasnt gotten blown up on the net. well before gabby that is... |

I know a place near me in Ct. that has been yielding bigger than usual bass. It's not even Spring yet. But the bass have been hitting swimmers like it was late April, early May.

Doesn't surprise me, if we had a winter like this about 8 years back, I'd have been slamming some nice keepers in my favorite holdover spot, doubt there is much action there with the stocks like there are. My largest holder was 42lbs, came out of the Thames, so no secret there; decent fight on 10lb line and a 6 foot freshwater bass outfit. I miss the holdover fishing, but with all my golf courses open all winter, I couldn't give a crap; much rather play golf. Funny how priorities change as we get older, ten years ago I'd much rather fish.

Got to question whether that's as foolish as chasing schoolies that don't exist anymore. |
