So How Do You Think The Fall Is Shaping Up?

[piemma]

I was out early this morning. Marked a lot of fish and tons of bait. Also 4' seas with a solid 20knts SW. Tide was dropping against it so it was standing up pretty good. Got one bluefish that went 14+ on the Boga 33". GORILLA BLUES!!!

Things are shaping up. I predict things will blow open within the next 3-4 days. Where it actually blows open is anyone's guess.

Not usually a big full moon fan, but in the fall it matters much less than any other time of year, IMO.

What actually constitutes "blowing open" is different for everyone. I've been getting numbers of fish, but none over mid-high teens weight wise. Blowing open to me would be an influx of 20# plus fish in good numbers with some bigger mixed in, perhaps some high 30# stuff and bigger. This week usually starts it where I like to fish, so we'll see what happens.

All I know is when it starts you just know its happening without needing confirmation from anyone else...as do my wife and kids... my wife is going on her 16th fall run with me...god bless her...10th anniversary is next friday night...someone remind me if I forget and wind up down the canal.
