Hi LeCounts1099,
I fished that week in "97" on Lecounts upto Ballston that Oct. and was the best surf fishing I have ever seen. I have seen some good bliz's but ever lasting all week, til a strong cold front came through and shut it down at the end of the week. Ever evening as soon as the sun went behind the dune the bass would be wait for an eel to go by. Every night that week I had 25-35 lbs bass at Lecounts, would fish only to 10-11 pm after catching most nights at less a dozen or more. Sleep a couple of hours and fish Ballston from 3-8 am, fishing was non-stop. A couple of times just after casting a new eel, trying to wash my hands with the rod between my legs, only to have a bass picking up the eel and having to grab the rod before I lost it. It was like feeding sunfish worms off a dock, the fishing was that fast and all nice fish. My best that week was just over 40 lbs my personal best from the surf, that fish was also the biggest Paul at Blackbeard's weighed that season, I know some bigger fish where caught that week, I did hear that 3-4 50's where caught. I dream about that week today and have not seen anything close to it since.
