With The Season Winding Down.....

[BigFish]

What were some of your best moments? Best fish? Basically just what was your finest hour this season? Also any regrets? Who from the site were you fortunate enough to wet a line with?

The best has yet to come.

I went 4 times this year, lost 2 big ones, caught a little one, and a blue.

I hadn't gone for 3 years prior to that (disabled)

I was happy just to get out.

I met Striprman on the Canal one morning...remember Steve?

Yes Bigfish. You looked like you were having fun testing your plugs.

I had to check out the herring run to see exactly how bad it was this past year. It was really sad to see so few herring in the run. Looks like that river is headed for extinction. I wonder if there will be a complete ban on taking herring there (well, all the runs are kinda getting sparse). Makes sense to me.
Larry, a good alewife or blueback immitation in the works ?
We (me and 3 friends) had the 3rd week in July at the Scenic Park. Fishing was fair (my friends caught some blues and bass too). My back is too far gone to be throwing plugs but I wheelchair myself down to a rip, start chumming and set up a rod. I've caught some nice fish in the canal up to the second week in November. Still not too late (but with the snow comming down outside my window right now, I just want to put my down blanket over me and hibernate until spring)

I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing about it, but I still have dreams about it at least once a week. That 2 hr blitz I was into. I probably had about 30 fish or so up to 30lbs on top water (salty buggers, guppy's, and gibbs) and Hab's needles. Not a short in the school either. I also know of at least 1 fish @ 50 that was taken out of there that morning as well.
Didn't get to fish with as many people from the site as I wanted to, but got to wet a few lines with some great people.

Season is far from over for me. So hopefully I'll get to fish with more of you, and steal more of your plugs soon.

My finest moment was fishing Cuttyhunk both times with Afterhours....what a great, fishy place.....can't wait till next year!

I also caught 98% of my fish this season on my own wood which was great....caught my biggest on my joined eel.....everytime I put them in the water the fish would not leave them alone! I caught on small howdy plugs, dannies, big mouth poppers in different sizes, jointed surfsters and jointed eels, jointed poppers, needlefish....and absolutely murdered them on my pencil popper....got lots more work to do this winter!

I had the pleasure of fishing with many from this site.....spent most of my time with Afterhours, Slingah and Joey G......got to fish with MAC, Backbeach Jake, L.I.Fish.Vt, Tagger, Riverrat2, Squid Kids Dad a couple times, Van, BEETLE, Topwater, Lab1..... I know I must be forgetting a few!

I regret not getting to fish the fall during the Red Sox Playoffs with Backbeach Jake....their stay in he post season was all too brief! I also did not get the chance to hook up with Piemma and RIRockhound.....that would have been great, maybe next season.

Everytime I went fishing with my brother.
