following fish vs. spot hopping

rarely has it worked in reverse at either of those loacalites, and
the TRUTH is i'm looking for MUCH bigger fish than 35# to 45#'s.

YES, POUNDS, to be clear,,,,,,,,,,,,,

as Mike said, i do definitely run the risk of a BIG gurl swimming by while i'm on the move,,,,,,,,,but don't i also run the risk of missing HER as the first fish at another spot, should she not be the last fish where i just was?

and i would be moving as the tide dictates, for both spots. also, once i've marked those fish and they're not getting bigger i'll move to the nearest preferred lie, usually within a mile or less either up or down the coast, to keep that next spot honest.

a veritable "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. sure hope that this storm brings a change. it has been s-l-o-w up the Other Cape, for me anyways~~~

Jess, your honestly telling me that if you got your spot hit (4) 30# plus in 6 casts you would turn around and leave?????????????

BD,
you are full of %$%$%$%$ it is coming out your ears.

not one person on this board would honestly leave in that scenario. odds are if there are 35-45's around a larger fish is in the same pod.

Dont diss the Dawg, he's dropped more 50's and 60's than you will ever lose! Nevermind his PB is a low 30s fish.

I didn't know what the Dawg meant in his original post. There is usually too much stuff to read so I skip over most of it. Besides, I can only understand about 20% of what he types anyways.

Anyone who says they leave pods of 30# plus fish is either an idiot or a liar. If I'm into decent fish, I'll stick around until the bite ends. Then, I'll move somewhere else if I don't go home. I fish to have fun, not to be an internet sharpie.

I have (30#) And it was worth it for "The One"
Those dang pesky 30# and 40# fish just get in the way and beat the Mega cows to your eel...........But then again, I have weeded thru 25 to 30 INCH fish for hours on end to BAM, Supa Cow (40#+) it up..........
But I rarely leave fish to find fish. That mentality is for the same kind of people that would pick up a pile of money off the ground and just throw it in a trash barrel cause it is litter........

You, BB and TO may be the exception.

I'm certainly not the exception, and Redlite is completely full of %$%$%$%$. He wouldn't leave a school of dogfish if they were biting good, much less bass, irregardless of size.

Not sure about TO though as he's a canal biker and can move around quickly in his assless chaps.

I hate bass fishin. I really am a dog fish slayer at heart. That's what I am really lookin for. Damn supa cows just always gettin the way.......I saw your face the first time you slammed one. I saw the big smile. Nothin like hookin a 4 ft smooth dog fish IN THE SIDE in 3 feet of water to test your gear and crush your dreams when u see them eyes.
Sorry.....gettin off topic.

don't get me wrong, i enjoy landing them; yet, they are NOT the fish i am targeting. i subscribe to the Dominant Fish Theory, wholeheartedly, and i KNOW that it applies to the udl i am speaking of. if true, then i have already caught the biggest fish of that bite.

and it has happened in back to back haunts, within 24 hrs of each other. several feesh, 35's- 25's one night, followed by a First Fish Supa Cow the next night~~~ that Spot is pretty consistent. too bad it happens sooooo stinkin' LATE. it usually doesn't get going until Sept's New

In that case you let me know the date and ill make the trip up North. Only i wont be leaving with you when the bite peaks.

Sept's NEW,,,,,,,,when the High is right

Oct's NEW,,,,,,,,,,,,,same as the first verse

come on up, and we'll fish it. but, i'll have to blindfold you 1st,
TripleDawg swear you to secrecy, and i WILL unleash the hounds
of the neighboring homeowner should any unauthorized haunts take place afterwards!!
