This has probably been my best fall in 10 years easily.

Good day off Saconet in friends boat, easy ten fish pick on good tog and while on first spot we watched acres of fish and birds, but we came for tog. On pulling first set anchor we motored over and discovered they were micro stripers as suspected, but we picked up some nice chunky sea bass dropping my 4” split tails to the bottom under the schoolies. Ironically in all the years of fishing in multiple boats I’ve never been boarded to check fish, today was a first at the ramp, no issues of course.

My buddy was standing next to a guy the other day who caught a 20” BSB on a storm shad.

Same here. Not my best in terms of poundage, but the consistency has been amazing, and I’ve fished all over the place.

Those saying there’s no fish left simply aren’t fishing or just don’t see a reason to fish if large aren’t readily available, which is fine, but to say there isn’t a Fall Run taking place is incorrect. Talk to anyone who lives by the water down this way and they’ll tell you it’s the best they’ve seen in 40 years.

I think you and I discussed the weight of the fish this year and how they seem to be similar to years ago. My longer fish have all been fat this year.

I took Paul out to the dark side in my fiberglass jetty many moons ago. Put him on some good fish if I recall. Figured he would have gotten a boat sooner...

Glad to hear you were getting them from shore. I haven't even started yet. Guess the clock is ticking.
