Also noticed that not many people are fishing at night, at least up my way. There is some good fishing if you don't mind doing it in the dark and at least in my situation I have been pretty much alone. Last night was good, not great but good and nary a soul to be found. Thats good too isn't it?

By 9:30pm, poof everyone turns into a pumpkin. From 5pm till then it's shoulder to shoulder.

Why even try.........

I think its always been like that during the week. On weekends you see the "die hards" out there until about 10:30. Last year I fished mostly 11pm to 4am and was always alone, save for a pack of coyotes baying in the background. You may have company at the canal at night, but usually nowhere else.

This site is directed by you guys. The discussion moves where you want it to move. I think that like mentioned above the late night bite has been less consistent this year and that is having some impact as well. I also think that the boat aspect has been highlighted more this year than in the past but I don't think a lot of guys have moved from surf to boat - obviously some have though...

Again, the discussion is what you guys put forward. Lots of sites will quietly instruct people to post topics to stir some discussions, artificially inflating discussion - I don't really believe in that.

On the other hand, Dennis & Flap, I miss your stories

I have noticed that too Flap. But I like it that way. Usually only the true hardcores out then anyway. Although at some hidden gem "elbow" spots I tend to bump into the same old timer in the dead of the night usually between 1-5am. The last two times out it was just he and I. This is a fishy guy and the stories are as good as catching. He has fished with them all. The last time we were in the current he told me wild stories about Pleasant Bay, Barnstable Harbor and fishing with Pergo Felice.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
