How would you Rate Oct. 2006 ?

[Back Beach]

Same as the rest of the season. Decent and steady, but not phenomenal. Had to "put the time in" as they say. I love these "how did you do" threads. They are interesting, but one man's blitz is another man's skunk,one man's large is another's twinkie, so forth and so on. Without the outer cape, though, you do have to work harder for what you produce over a season in terms of larger, say 30# fish. One good night on the cape and you could get more 30 plus pound fish than you can in an entire season now. I would say if you got a 30 plus from the shore this year, you had a pretty good fish. This excludes the NIB Jersey fishing, of course, meaning the 30's were pretty common for a while.
