South Shore fish moving fast

Ran into some fish moving quickly at dusk on a beach south of Marshfield.
Gentleman up the beach from me got a good fish...20#s estimate. Some bait with them, but nothing showing.
Would have missed it if the gentleman didn't hook up when I arrived...
I got a schoolie out of it...fat.

Keep hearing that the fat lady is singing but I guess I am deaf!

Although the fishing has slowed the last 2 nights and the water temps are dropping fast, we are still picking up some good fish early mornings. This morning was not different with 2 good fish in the lower 30#s (late night) and a 3 in the low-mid 20#s around 6 am in heavy surf. We are still running into the occasional blue fish which tells me its to over yet.

Have a few freinds that are fishing to the north of me and they tell me while the fishing has slowed they are still beaching some in the 20-30# range.

Good luck you guys...theres still that chance!

Yes they still let you launch from Whitehorse beach, you dont even need a sticker! To do anything else in plymouth costs at least $100....suprised they havent started charging. Matter of time I guess.

I fish thru Thanksgiving. I remember in05 we took 24# fish on Nov 9th in RI.
I remember 03 (I Think) with Spence and RI Rockhound on The Block getting mid-teens the day AFTER Thanksgiving.

No boat, back in the suds.

Fished this morning in heavy surf with winds NNE around 20-25. Nothing from my usual perch. Then around 7am after walking off the rocks I notice about 20-30 birds diving and whirling about 100 yards down the beach about 150 yards off shore . A bunch of fat bass, probably in the 40-45" range crashing adult bunker. After several attempts to get into casting distance and 10 mouthfuls of salt-water I gave up. To rough when your fishing a east facing beach with 20-25 winds on the incoming.

Might have been my last chance at a decent fish and I blew it! Oh well.

Went out last weekend to do some early TW fishing,I had numorus blow ups and short strikes on my Zara Spook,but only managed one small rock before sun up.

Here is the one short I caught.I think its going to be awsome fall.

LOL. George is the man. Nutin this morning. Beautiful morning, although cold, perfect tin boat day,but it was very mellow out there. A few small fish and no bird action. Pretty dead.
