Aw Dave I am sorry to hear that. I was wondering how you made out. I stayed at home I guess I didn't miss anything. Yes the yesterday was damn good. I may try on thursday after the wind turns and blows from the right direction. I wonder when and if all those fish will eventually go thru the ditch or head for the race with all this SW wind because there were some impressive fish in that school. Breaking fish of that size would be awesome. Also I have found out over the years that I never get anything in the canal, mostly top water, when the SW wind blows strong. I have tried many times with very little results with a wind from that direction being strong. I now stay in bed when the SW wind gusts at the ditch. Have you noticed that? Paul

I have Paul and the water for some mysterious reason gets awfully cold too. Might try it though in the morning then back to the outer Cape for a couple nights then Fishers Island the end of the week.

Well it was 20 sw last night an I saw only minor drop off from the night before..
Paul.
I think the ditch got a good shot of those fish.

15-20 isn't bad. It's manageable.

When it comes to them NOAA reports I take em wit a grain of salt they have been riding the high side of winds an sea's since they made a mistake that cost some lives.25-35 don't happen as often as people think.Thats big winds.Like wendy's chilli force.
Then agian I'm not in a boat.
I think if the wind was bigger we still would have got em.There are times of yr u just can't pay attention to the normal things that might turn off fishing.Water temps are getting close to premium so metabs are up they burn lots of fuel, there is more food an they gotta eat for the long haul ahead...We spend alot of time waiting for the fall run well it's here go fishing..the time is now.

Not much on top this morning, just small fish, real small where I was looking. Flat calm conditions. Tony I take it you are jigging the west tide. I was looking for surface action. P.
