I'm still fishing home waters until Nov. 10 or so. I agree it is a long damned winter; so, I make it a little shorter by doing some episodic commuting/plugging the R.I. coast until T'giving. In years past, my favorite has been: (1) catching a bass on my b'day, Nov. 16th; and (2) getting a good enough after MA season bass, photoing it and then bragging to Numbskull about it.

I'm always grateful for anything that puts me to sleep in the winter. |

no more striper fishing (I would if I was closer), but last Sunday had the best trout day of the year, here in Vermont. Took my son for his 17th birthday. We had been skunked the 3 previous trips. Second cast he hooks the biggest rainbow trout I've ever seen....Broke off at his feet. Guessing 26-28 inches. But all was not lost....landed a dozen more trout over the next 2 hours. None as big, but all were nice.

I'm still at it - albeit at a more... relaxed pace
Figure I'm good 'til Thanksgiving but I'm gonna have to drive to the Mainland... 
Hey, Cap - no wisecracks about being surprised at me havin' an E-Z-Pass either... 
Hell, I may even do a commando trip to a UDL next month...

DONE - NOT YET !!
Fished incoming tide from beach North of canal last Thursday and was into a steady (like every cast) pick of bass from 16-30" on a variety of plugs and metal. Totalled 50+ fish in 4 hours. Weather and work schedule have stopped me temporarily but no thoughts of quitting yet. I just keep moving and casting moving and casting this time of year until I find fish

Fall Run in Buzzards Bay
Still some decent stripers to be had in the bay.
Last nights efforts produced a 23# and 24#, both on eels, both released unharmed.
Just started using cirlce hooks again and they worked great!

This hurts. I'm standing on the other side of the bay looking across at you and I can't even find a dink. Knowing you're getting them gives me hope, however. |
