just to get back on track......

I did 45 miles in LongIsland Sound a few days ago..... aside from a sporadic albie splash every coupla hours, it was a dead sea. never saw any birds, never marked a concentration of fish, never saw any big pods of bait. stopped at 10-12 spots that are fishy locations and had a few dink sea bass. caught 2 albies by mistake with trying for bass.....

deader than dead

fish

Hit a local bay up here on the South Shore. Looked dead. Rainy and windy, a few birds on the shore. Wondered if schoolies and bait were still around. 1st cast, fish. Caught 20 schoolies in an hour at the top of the tide. Still lots of bait and small fish in the warm bay water.

Hit or miss...

Bobber, lots of bait around, but got to be right time, right place, and just hope. Saw a ton of bait and schoolies yesterday afternoon, then hit it after dark in the rain, and had legal bass and up for over an hour...seems the older fish wait until dark, saw some keeper size in the blitz earlier, there were blues mixed in as well. Hope its just early....

Caught a couple of very small stripers last night during the drop on first three casts, same for the guy with me.
Then went the next two hours without a bump.
Not putting my gear away just yet.. maybe 3 or 4 more trips.
Got into some pretty good daytime fishing from the beach this time last year.
Daylight savings next week? Dark at around 4:30? Winter Sucks!

25 years ago we would fish the SOCo until Thanksgiving morning then head for the Block after turkey day. Usually all small fish in SoCo and better fish at the Block....some years.

No boat, back in the suds.
