So? How Is Your Fall Shaping Up?

[Jim in CT]

Doing pretty well at Block with stripers (usually get my two, nothing huge), but the kicker is the sea bass fishing this fall. Lots of shorts, but enough keepers to bring home and make a blackened fish sandwich or two (or five).

Maybe they should have two seperate posts.
One asking how your fall season has been out on the boat and one asking how it's been from the shore.

That way we can eliminate a lot of needless bragging and complaining between the various fishing magnates.

Seriously though, two seperate posts would keep the perspectives in line since you couldn't confuse a boat brag with a shore brag.

you better include kayaers, wet suiters and skishers in there too... or anyone that wades a bar,cut or mussel shoal.. or crawls out on a jetty or even drives a buggy over the sand... because we all fish the same water the boat is a vehicle to bring me to the fish..just like a beach buggy.. or your car to the destination.. so unless you are standing on tera firma .. no fish you land counts so it seems...I fish water SHALLOWER than most surfmen .. I fish from a boat so the government and prissy land owners can't tell me where and when I can fish... 6 miles of prime fish habitat is closed on plum island right now... because of the shut down and furlows.. every spring.. the same grounds are closed so we can have fuzzy plover chicks... so instead of whining and crying about it... 40 years ago, I had the insight to know how things worked and LEARNED to fish from a boat.. and contrary to popular belief.. the fish just dont just jump in.. you actualy have to find them... and present to them something they want to kill and or eat...if posting sucess ( when asked) is bragging.. I then appolgise... it wont happen again.. ever.
