No surprises this fall

[numbskull]

I'm not dead yet...........though given my fall so far maybe I better get that checked.

By far the worst October I can ever remember. Only one supercow Columbus Day weekend, but other than that, since October 1st I think I only had 3 fish over 30#s, and very, very few fish period. Also could be due to the fact that I really haven't fished much. The weather was real tough with crazy s\ sw winds that just made fishin tough.
To add to that, down my way there has been more phospherecsneses (fire) in the water than I have ever seen in my life ANYWHERE, including Race Point. A lot of people have commented on that here as well.
The fat lady has sung, but it has been a season that I will never, ever forget. Great times and adventures with a lot of laughs with some great poeple. Time to take up golf or something else.

The NE wind gave up a few surprises on Monday morning in an area I thought was all done for decent fish.

That's all they will let me say.


I'm in it til Dec 1 or til snow hits the beach.

That's kind of what I've been getting at. Always a few surprises no doubt, but by and large its been pretty predictable with regard to the big movement.

The big surprise is the lack of visible small bait. (Although I saw more diving birds and bait earlier this week than I have the whole fall season combined). Other than that it's still too early to tell IMO. I'm still seeing signs that things could go out with a bang and not just a slow fizzle. That may just be some crazy optimism creeping up though. .

I'll come back to this thread in a month and let you know... What I do know is that the longer I'm out there the shorter the winter will be - catching or not. It always seems to end the same though... Standing on a rock in Rhody under a moon with a big skunk freezing my ass off saying 'ok, this is freakin ridiculous'.

And then there's always that one last Xmas trip to LI to 'visit my girl's parents'.

This was the worst fall iv'e ever fished in the bay from warick to the jamestown bridge ,lack of peanutes I think was the problem. I had a few real good days jamestown and south.I won't stop till the ganetts go by, i'm hopefull till Nov 1.

It was the worst fall for me since I have been doing this...there were just no fish in my local haunts, or at least when I went . There is always next year....
