Shore Fishing 07 Overview

[Back Beach]

Last week of May in the canal was good for me. No fishing from June 1 to October1 due to new family addition. October was the best one I've ever had from the surf in the 20 plus years I've fished for bass. Had around 20 fish over the 30# mark, with a 42# being the biggest. Numbers and sizes I got are not real important because everyone's bar is set at a different level, but it was real good for me. Got the fish in a bunch of different places too, both MA and RI. A couple places I've never fished prior to this year, so it was equally as gratifying to catch fish in new places as it was to catch decent sized fish. As always, eels at night did the majority of the damage. Did get one 34# fish on an artificial back in May. For the minimal time I spent fishing this year, things went well in the catching department for me. No complaints.

Will probably approach things the same next year....Mid to late May day fishing, then its the midnight to 5am shift w/eels beginning Memorial day. Will try out some more new locations and keep and eye on the old standby spots too.

Plenty of 20-28 lb fish on plugs, but I don't think I got a single fish over 30#....which eats at me more than I want to admit.

My season as a whole was Lame to say the least, I

I fished the Lawrence Dam in May 10th and June 20th for the herring run, I fished it 3 to 5 times a week and got skunked all but one time, no fish ever showed up except one night. I took all of the summer off

I had a fairly good fall but nothing large I didn't keep a log this year but my biggest was 29 pounds. I just put my rods up for the winter
I may have 1 more trip in me but not likely
