How late do you fish???
I thought about this the other night. In my younger days I use to start at the West Wall around St. Patrick's day and can remember one year (1994 maybe?) when I fished with a friend at Beavertail on Christmas Eve afternoon.
Now as I get older I don't like the cold so my season starts later, April 5th or so, and ends in late October.
How about the rest of you guys and gals?

Last 4-5 years October and early November have been lost due to Scouts but in the past I usually went to T-Day only to have buddies tell me I should have been there in December.

I've already started slowing down and have only been getting out once or twice a week in the past couple of weeks. I'll keep at it at this pace until around Thanksgiving and then it's over for me until mid to late April.

I'm hauling out this week. I'll do a couple shore trips but nothing crazy.
I'm leaving the keys right now to go home and haul out my boat. Talk about depressing.

Day before Thanksgiving usually; put my gear away day after. But I've been known to get it back out if it's a warm Dec.

Good so there is hope for tomorrow.
I'll stop when George stops calling me.
Riding the bike on canal this morning with that biting wind and only seeing 2 guys out and not a tap made me start to think I am pretty much just about there.

One of the best nights I ever had was DEC 5th from the surf. All fish were 25-35lbs and fish on every other cast.

Last year we had a nice bite on sea herring like nov 8 to 10th, so Im guna keep going until I literally shame myself into retirement for the year with skunks. Every time I question not going, I think, Im guna regret not going in a month so get out there you vagina |

For years I'd break ice all winter to fish the Thames or even locally for holdovers after the season was done, so I really didn't have a down season. Since the decline of the striper schoolie stock, those days are now behind me, dropped the boat off to get winterized yesterday. Time for fall and winter golf, will shrink wrap the boat in a week or two after I get it back from my mechanic.
Anyone fish the Thames last year, is that fishery still viable in the winter, boy back in the day 50 fish was a slow day and my largest was a 42 lber on 10 lb flurocarbon  . |

Don't sell yourself short, I'm sure Jenn thinks it is an adequate trout.
