The weather has fff'd things up for sure here on the N. Shore but there were a few signs starting to show before the blow which gives me hope that this weekend will be the start of a solid week of productive fishing. There was some large bait north of my location and I personally saw a pod of peanuts while fishing for smelt in a protected harbor. Not a massive school of peanuts but peanuts none-the-less. Surf was still way up this morning but I am counting on it laying down by this time tromorrow and I am counting on our striped friends to come on in for clean-up duty.

I'm batting about .300 this fall. I wouldn't call it a great fall by any means despite a few very good nights, one of which was one of my biggest nights ever back in sept. I'm mostly coming up empty, as usual.

I've gotten 11 fish or so over 30# since labor day, and probably 25-30 fish in the 20# class. All these fish were taken in three nights combined over several weeks, so there's been a lot of zeros in between the occasional success. I haven't had back to back good outings at all this fall.

Yes, I think there's fewer fish available than years past...OK Rockhound? I finally said it...
