Yup... PIemma fished Quonny in the snow late one season; after almost going in on the slush, even w/ korkers on, we bailed and called it a season.....
I've seen bluefish chunked off the beach as late as Dec 7th a few years back... late fall fishing all boils down to one thing... herring....

Dec 1st 1986 the day before I went into the AF I slayed dozens of 18-22lb blues that were hearding gigantic pogies up on the beach.One of the most unreal fishing seens. |

You're right, Bryan. A few years ago there was a push of big bass and monster blues that were on herring in westerly the last week of Nov. Of course the day I went down it was only monster blues(I'll take that any day in Nov) but the days before and after had nice fish blitzing... |

hey Mike,
could it be that the "It's OVAH,,,,,,,,,,,,,Extravaganza Tourney" is about to get fired UP?
due to a NAGGING and persistent work related (L) shoulder/elbow strain
and working 6-10's~~ i've only been striperin' TWICE since June!!!
 
coupla three nights ago, 'round the Other Cape, i landed my first keeper of this migration~ 29.50/35.5". injury SUX,,,,,,but it was the last night of The Cup, so i had to give it a go. that action seems to be right on schedule for my share of the Striper Coast. the bigguns should be right behind that sweet li'l belly filler.
am hoping to be able to 'represent' for the HABS and for the MS Tourney in Wkpg later in the season; the tear doesn't seem to hurt so much when i am offering eels??  |

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Happy Hunting to ALL!

WAIT!!!
29.50 pounds and only 35.5 inches. I never question you DAWG but Holy &*&% that fish would have to have been 35" around. 36" fish is usually around 20#. Always has been as long as I have been doin' this and that's coming up on 45 years.
You got a picture? I would love to see that fish. The fish in my avatar is 31# and 39 inches long.

Great memories Bryan. You are spot on with the herring. Bluebacks.
Remember BI the day after Thanksgiving with Spence. Still one of the funniest episodes ever. 40knots winds 35 degrees and a few fish to boot. Blueback were there on the SW Point. |

I remember that, RIROCKHOUND dropped my fish in the wash.
Remember it being colder than 35 degrees though, it sucked.
Do it again in a second.

Bill,
after I landed Block Island Jeff's 15lb 'cow', and was holding it by the plug (needlfish) he hemmed and hawed about keeping it and it flopped off in the interim. End of story.
It was cold though, but Joe and I have done some colder nights in subsequent years.... |

I also have had colder nights. Worst I remember was maybe 92 or 93 with the late Gil Guillitone at the short wall. Had to be mid-Dec. 9 degrees and NW at 20. Saltwater freezing in the guides. As the sun came up there was a blitz on the backside of the wall. Nothing over 35" but a fish on every cast on white 1/2 oz bucktails.
i also remember fishing in front of PJ Light in a snowstorm with fish all around us but no takers.
