Thanks to all of you. Sometimes I wonder if my thinking is bizarre or out of touch. I dont knock anyone who keeps large bass as its their choice and everyone has different motivations not to mention the law allows it. I also understand some folks have mouths to feed and this is their lively-hood. So I see both sides of the fence. Its just MY choice to watch them swim away.
PaulS.....lol....my spots ( I have several) are easy to find (NOT easy to fish and have cracked ribs,broken wrist and bloody head to prove it) and not very well known for producing large fish but can tell you the past 6 years have been lights out for fish over 35 pounds. Just no 50s yet although I am very,very confident they are there and I have hooked into a few. As far as my spot location....It took my 12 years to find and "learn" it and I grew up fishing for monster blue fish about 300 yards away. Its only when I stopped chasing diving birds from the beach did I find this hidden gem. Its somewhere between Marshfield and the canal. If you watch closely you just might see flickering headlamps @ 2am. This morning was very rough and we took 3 fish in the high 30s but the spot produces larger fish at any change of wind. Notice the forecast calls for NE shifting to the SW tonight....guess where I will be @ 12am? I have 4 days off in a row and feel this might be my last chance to end the season with what we all keep casting for.
Hope everyone has great luck this fall and this season produces the kind of memories that get you through the winter!
