Well, I'm in Pittsburgh so I am on a forced hiatus for a few days but I fished Sunday night from 12:30 AM to 5:30 AM for 2 small fish. Eels, plugs, needlefish and swimmers and jigs.
I am not throwing in the towel but it is slow for the first week in Oct.

Chuck, don't give up hope yet.....U got a LONG weekend ahead of you bro...seen a handful of individual bait pods yesterday somewhere in Newport, and yes...they were getting harrassed.....I couldn't reach em' and it seemed that there weren't any stragglers near the Rox I was slipping on....I tried though,,,so hard a mini-rogue wave knocked me to the ground and slid me to the edge, luckily for jagged rocks...I was able to grab an edge.
Hopefully Large will find them pods this weekend and the Fiesta will start.
I still need to get signed up.  ....I doubt I'll see you at Flo's, but hopefully Sunday, you'll be shaking my hand while congratulating me.  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Don't worry, amigo - one thing I've got plenty of from the Portuguese side is stubborn...  ...and it's far from over
Check your PM's...

mike, there's still some big fish north of boston so you guys are far from done down there. i pointed a 45 your way last week. no real numbers or signs of a mass movement (at least that i've seen), more of a trickle - which i attribute to a lack of inshore bait.

A tuna guy I met at the Cup fest told me that Stellwagen is loaded with big bass feeding on huge sandeels.

And WHY swing inshore when the bait is off-shore???? |

Those fish are a mystery to me. They seem to pile up out there and guys accidentally catch them into November while tuna fishing. They never seem to hit the shoreline though. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

For a few years our crew used to finish the year with a charter trip out of harwich. The boat would steam way south of nantucket. Early to mid nov. We would hammer fish, plenty of big ones too. The captains belief was that most bass stayed offshore where all the big bait is. Hard to argue with his results.I think that only a very small fraction of fish ever swim within casting range, it is a big ocean that we only outline with fishermen. Trying to figure it all out gives me a popsicle headache. |
May fortune favor the foolish....
