Where have the browns been this year?? Had the yak out for them twice, hit the beach for them a few times. Went 0/2 one night in the The Orca Jr., (and had one grab the chum bag) but that was it. Usually its far more consistent than that. Water was sure warm enough.

i was wondering if anyone had luck with the Browns this season...i made 3 or 4 trips to a usual south cape location without a nibble...last season same place was much more productive...

Thanks S-B!!! It's been a fun few nights.............As for the Browns, I have seen years when they just don't come in, but I think this year was diffrent. I got lots of reports of Sandbars early this year. The fish showed in Late June, which is early I think. Striper fishing was just to good to head out and try at that time. The season in my records usually last 2 weeks and peek somewhere between mid july and august and then they slowly become none existent. The Vinyard which once had a great fishery for them on South Beach has seen barely any over the last few years. This caused them to close there beach tornament which use to yelled many browns. Now protected I hope they can make a come back in numbers.

Got back out yesterday and managed another 3, one which had an old tag, that I took and replaced with one of mine. Here's a few more pics
