We found decent agressive fish...
too bad the blues were there too. Dropped a real nice drag peeler though. Only managed 3-4 keepers between us. But I KNOW there were allot of bass around us. Just too many blues also.
All in all a decent night though. Brought home 2 mid teens and shadow got some meat also.

Loaded up four people and a lot of eels in the boat and went out into the sunlight and fished from 8pm to 12:30am. The fish clearly aren't near shore around here, maybe they'd be deep...
Precision bombed deep structure with 3 wayed eels, at least 3 eels in the water anytime we were on structure. Finally found a single fish around 19 pounds around midnight. We have a lot of leftover eels, even the bluefish were scarce...
I don't like the full moon at all, even with cloud cover. Not that you can't catch under a full moon, just that the odds against you are increased signicantly.
Reality is the real problem right now is a lot of areas don't have any bait and that's why the fishing is horrible, much more so then the moon.

I went out after lathering on sunblock  . Hit the Canal for the start of the east around 4-ish. I had one hit on a jig, hooked it briefly and promptly dropped it. After sun-up, the surface action that's been pretty consistent all week never happened 
Even the Canal suffers from the effects of a spotlight like that in the sky. |

I don't let the moon bother me.
Especially in june an sept/oct.
i just don't like excuses.
there are some good points u can certainly see better.Fire is not as bad.I have always found fish move on the moon.this can be good also..Sure they can be tougher to hook but i live in nj they are all tough to hook.U just gotta go back to the basic's..

Mike P - I was down the canal also this morning. Two decent fish for me between 4-5am and then from 5-7am, fish on top were the norm. For as far as my eyes could see (east/west) and across, I saw fish breaking. These were smaller fish in the 22-26" range. I was more towards the eastern half on the canal. I also only used jigs and had a very hard time holding bottom with 5oz. |

Didn't fish last night but I had 5 fish in the 34" to 36" range yesterday morning. In SoCo where there was enough bait to walk on.
Pete, you are on the wrong side of the bay if there's no bait. |
No boat, back in the suds.

Well I was able to get out today for the first time this season!!
Went out Green Pond Falmouth, fished for Fluke, Sea Bass, Scup, Bass, Blues.
It was a crap day!! No Bass (got there to late) very few Fluke Sea Bass Scup, but we had a great day and brought home a dinner for each of us!

Yeah, the mullet run is on. Actually a week early as my logs show Sept 15 or so for the last 5 or 6 years. |
