I spent 6 very cold hours( I've been warmer many times while ice fishing) in the early morning last saturday for one fish ( on a HUGE EEL) in the high twenties and another on that I'd like to have back that hit a sand eel plug at day break ( the same one I gave Slip at plugfest) .. the damn thing streaked through 3 un ocupied moorings and cut me off.... I think the blood flow to my fingers and toes just came back.. and I havent been out since....This week end will wrap up the boat season ( boat has to be off the dock by the 15th) after that I'm a jetty jockey and rock crawler until the end of the month....

as I've stated many times.. I've never been a fan of the fall "run".. IMHO.. at least north of Cape cod.. it's highly overated....on any given summer night, I'll catch more fish than the best "blitz" I've ever seen in the fall... especialy for large....
