If I do get down, it will be a last minute thing. Also depends on who has a bed I can crash in.... Budget has already been blown this fall on auto repairs, house needs, and new work truck.

13 3/4 lb bluefish weighed in on day 1, not bad. I think we may see some big blues this year. Not saying we'll see a 20, but I'll bet an 18 will be weighed in this year.
A junior also pulled in a 9 1/2 pounder from the shore on the firstr day. Nice fish!

the wind was a BALL buster while i was down there. A couple days i was sure if you just caught something you'd get a daily. Not 1 boat to be seen a couple days out of the week. Albie count is low. Blues are up. one of those years I guess.

Was out there from Sept 20-25. Fished three partial nights - my partner and I had a very slow pick of bass to 16 lbs. One bluefish for my partner that hit a rigged eel. Plagued by big and discolored water. Didn't see any albies or bonito taken from shore by anyone. Locations normally loaded with funny fishermen were empty.
Did take many nature walks with the wives and uncovered a location that had me drooling and I will need to find a way into next time. I'm still learning this BIG place - a whole new puzzle for me. Love that aspect.
Had the pleasure of fishing with Sandman one night. Thanks Jim.
Did drive by a "fishermen flop house" at East Chop - loads of buggies there. Anyone from this site?

DZ...that was probably the houe organized by Paul O'Donell (elder from the former Portland (ME) Surfcasters) A lot of the Plum Island guys and a few MSBA are regulars there.

Dennis,
It was good to fish with you as well. As for the pathetic fishing I don't have any answers, it is just real poor this year. Albies are few and far between, a few years ago I think I had caught 60 some-odd...this year zero. But I do see some small pods breaking now and again but I am not really pursuing them everyday either but I still keep my eyes peeled. Worst year for albies in recent history.
The bones are around but not in great numbers either. One day I did well with them on the boat but they were all about 5.5#, nothing bigger. Been back since and got squat. I think it is realistic to catch them from shore this year if you target them. But there have been much better years with these as well.
Bass are around but numbers are thin and size is waaaay down. It is hardly worth pushing it to catch a 15# fish or two night after night. There were a couple good nights of bass fishing in the beginning of the derby where you would get a fish or a solid hit nearly every cast but again they were smaller fish with a 20#er being the rarity. But that ended and it's been a slow pick since. I fished some of the best spots on perfect conditions late mid week nights when I was sure I could hook up with something respectable and came away with 3 or 4 low teen fish for a lot of effort. Very depressing. When the Menmesha boys who know every rock around this place can't put a single 40 in the boat something is wrong. These guys can do this almost at will when the fish are here.
Bluefish are the relatively brighter spot this year. There are more of them and they seem to be bigger. Yesterday I was doubling up on 10-12# blue fish all morning. But they are not busting on top. I think there have been some up to 16# caught already.
What happened for fall run surface blitz's? when I was a kid this was a daily occurance, you could count on it every morning. But according to the experts at the DMF, all is well and stocks are high, so I guess I am just a crappy fishermen who doesn't know what I doing. 
So, that is the derby fishing status as I see it. But like most fishermen I am an optimist, I think it will bust wide open tomorrow!!
best of luck to you. |

If it was the big red place on Laurel Ave, then it's the place Patrick describes. I stay there every year with the old men along with my brother and a buddy of ours. This was the first year we had a group albie skunking in the 12+ we've been targeting them (shore only). Most of the albies weighed in this year are from boat. Hopefully this weather change over the next 24 hours turns things on for the shore guys. |

Or hopefully starting on Saturday but i'll be with peter so we will at least catch a buzz by most nites end. At least he has a sand permit for the truck so we don't have to lug his diet beer cross country. A BBQ would be real nice.
