Thought about it many times this year included. Can’t do it with the chaos at work but it would be great.

its a big gamble. the numbers of fish are wayyy down- probably not worth the effort. the late run of fish chasing herring down the coast is likely a thing of the past

Dennis, I believe the days of the late big fish are just in our memories now. I was just wondering if anyone was up for it but it really is kind of stupid of me given the results I am hearing of late. |

We'll used to catch large at plum island (Mass)well into November. .we used to call it a season when we caught more codfish than bass on plugs wire lined in the mouth of the river...like you said a distant memory. ..I haven't seen a large fish since the second week of September. .the ocean conditions and water clarity played a role,but weather conditions were not the only factor.

I suspect that the small push of huge fish that potentially move through Block after thanksgiving is a decades old pattern that rarely ever happens anymore... but hey... Never know unless you're there with a line in the water! if I had the free time and less BS to do daily, I would take a shot

Yes. IF I lived out there you can bet your ass I'd be casting every evening for a few hours seeing if I could intercept something nice. But I wouldn't plan a special trip out there during Thanksgiving UNLESS I had some active intell.
Piemma, I'll be there during the first week of Nov - if things look encouraging I'll let you know. |

We'll if it happened again there is a good chance I'd be all by my lonesome. I think last November I ran into two other fishermen for an entire week of casting. |

When Pat? I'll be there from 11/4 - 11/11
I have a guy where I stay who trades me clams for my linguine in exchange for striper fillets.
Last few years it's been hard to provide my end of the deal. |

I'll be arriving at 9am or so on the 4th. I drive a bluish Subaru Forester with rod racks. Look up Hank Hewitt at Block Island Fishworks for a report if you want to wet a line in the surf. He also does boat charters. |
