What Slingah said! (My S-B "handle," after all!). It was a Bass convention then the likes of which I haven't seen from shore since! Oh, and it wasn't one such night as he describes for me: I'd say I had half- a- dozen such nights that Fall there!

But that would be 1st choice of my own experiences to return to... To go back to any place & time? I'd say next to Dennis during "Snowstorm Blitz" too because I love that Porkchop so much!!... but it really seems that action then was mostly at one specific spot, that really is unpleasant to fish with more than 3-4 guys! According to Dennis there were usually 20- 30 guys there during the blitz all crazed & casting...

So: give me the Cape that early Nov. when Tony S. took Bertha!-- & Steve Kearney from L.I. had a mid- 60's & mid- 50's within 3 days... as a 16 yr. old!

All that bait & fish... and a "hotspot" of sand stretching for miles! Was plenty of room back then & no "mugging" I'm sure! And those 60's are SO much easier to best & release with feet planted on sand... as opposed to rocks & cobble bar!

The last week in Sept. "98" on the back side, the whole week was great till a strong cold front came through and ended it. Fish every night, all night long 25-40 lbs. Fished just two beaches, eels and plugs. That was a great week, have not seen anything close to that week, before or after. At times it was like feeding worms to bluegills off the dock, except this time it was bass and eels.

Yep, and wetting a line myself in that mess... It sounded like plenty of other big bass were feeding aswell and including close to state record size weakfish in the mix..

I'd like to go to pre-European Cape Cod with todays gear and some spare stuff to trade. I'd love to see the place without a single trophy home. And fish that have never been cast to...

PM sent Slingah...

When you pull on 50+ Bass from 12- 34 lbs. from before Midnight to 4 AM straight... you don't need to fish through the Dawn!

2,000 years ago to either the Great South Bay or the Elizabeth Islands. And I'd stay there too.
