Crunch Time - The Fall Run

[Brother Brian]

I love the first hours of a NE'str but I can't stand watching it all happen while I'm at work.

I hate cold fingers as well, but love it when you can warm them up in the water

putting on wet waders/ wetsuit at 2am that has ice crystals forming on it.

I love the fall stroll across Cuttyhunk to favorite spots, the changing colors of the leaves, the smell of the cool/salty fall air, the sunrise, the sunset, seeing the occasional whitetail scurry up a hill closeby.......and washing the striper slime out of my waders from hauling one back across the island over my shoulder! Ahhhhh yes! Soon!

I miss the Cape sand on the backside......the quiet of a lonely, isolated stretch of beach after dark! The fall sunrise after a night of catching......winter whispering through the dune grass that it is coming as I walk off with my seasons best fish dragging in the sand!

The friggin wind blow NW at 25-30 on a weekend.

I love everything about fall fishing, the crisp air, the increased expectations on my way to the spot, but I do hate when we get hit with an October Nor'easter that screws everything up for a week

I love the cool mornings that lead into warm days.

I hate the fact that the fall run is not as predictable as the spring run. It can be as short as a couple of days when the big fish push through a few of the spots that I fish and if you are not there, you are out of luck. I am usually working when this happens. I hate the fact that winter is around the corner.

I love the fall sunrise over the ocean and knowing that a 50 pounder can be the next cast away. I can't stand when the birds are working and you can see the fish blitzing but they are just out of casts reach to get to them.

I love seeing blitzing fish, not something I see so much in the summer of spring for that matter.

I had a great day last fall fishing in cold rain having peanut bunker beaching themselves at my feet, caught so many bass I lost count.

I like the sunrise which helps warm you up after a cold night. I like a warm october day eating a good dinner and then getting dressed to the nine's for a cold night in the surf! I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Love those calm,cold crystal clear nights.Of course blitzing bass at sundown too.Giant gator bluefish,you know those monsters in the 20lb range.

could not have said it better

I love to be able to drive the beach chasing pod after pod of fish. I love that I can get on the end of the jetties with out dealing with a bunch of idiots crossing my line or hooking each other. I love watching and talking with the expierenced anglers and ofcourse the great fishing here in R.I. Last year my last day fishing was JAN 11 and my first day was the end march so not much time off for me.I hate that my wrist are killing me allready from fishing.I hate that my wife and kids get mad that im fishing so much.I hate that I spend about $200.00 in gas a week driving from place too place. Its all worth it.

[onecastmike2003]

well I love to see 40lbers come to the top to grab my pencil and go into shock mode and my drag sings the striper song! now what I hate is my buddie calls my cell phone daily and says where you ? and walks in puts on the same lure I have and hooks up and gets a bigger bass than me.

I hate the cold but love the fishing it brings,I hate the F%$# up winds and the fishing it kills,I like that most the other anglers out at this time of the year at night are like me,I love that there are no bugs,I don't feel like it's coming to an end till nov. rolls around then that feeling starts to kick in and I get despret:
