Still some pretty decent fish here, I haven't
Been, damn shoulder is acting up, but one of the guys I work with that's a dedicated
Surf that, took some advise I gave him and has been into fish outside the slot to about 30lbs( my guess by the picture).
All on needle fish and Danny's I gave him.. still hope for some of you southern guys for a few quality fish.thought I'd pass it along.

Only the belly of some of these occasional fish indicates to me that there is a "Fall Run" in effect. If I find anything at all, it is an individual fish.

Good day off Saconet in friends boat, easy ten fish pick on good tog and while on first spot we watched acres of fish and birds, but we came for tog. On pulling first set anchor we motored over and discovered they were micro stripers as suspected, but we picked up some nice chunky sea bass dropping my 4” split tails to the bottom under the schoolies. Ironically in all the years of fishing in multiple boats I’ve never been boarded to check fish, today was a first at the ramp, no issues of course.

My buddy was standing next to a guy the other day who caught a 20” BSB on a storm shad.

Same here. Not my best in terms of poundage, but the consistency has been amazing, and I’ve fished all over the place.

Those saying there’s no fish left simply aren’t fishing or just don’t see a reason to fish if large aren’t readily available, which is fine, but to say there isn’t a Fall Run taking place is incorrect. Talk to anyone who lives by the water down this way and they’ll tell you it’s the best they’ve seen in 40 years.

I think you and I discussed the weight of the fish this year and how they seem to be similar to years ago. My longer fish have all been fat this year.

I took Paul out to the dark side in my fiberglass jetty many moons ago. Put him on some good fish if I recall. Figured he would have gotten a boat sooner...

Glad to hear you were getting them from shore. I haven't even started yet. Guess the clock is ticking.

Some very good fish Ross! And we also went surfcasting although I can't recall if it was the same year. I would rather surfcast than boat fish.

Ahh yes. I stand corrected: A great Fall Run is afoot. Instead of being skunked like in the last 3 trips to the lousy beaches that I monitor and fish-- I caught 19 bass the other night. Maybe No. 20 would be a fish greater than 28 inches; but this did not happen despite the great Fall Run.

That’s unfortunate. I know you fish traditionally big fish spots, but you might want to switch it up.

I held off on replying because my buddies were into fish up to 25#s (several between 15-25#s) the night prior to, and the following day, when you posted.

I haven't posted about the surf but I'm fishing 2 or 3 times a week like the old days. I've been into decent fish ( you know what I mean when I say "decent".).
No spot burns but SoCo on the East Side has been my "go to". So those of you who know me and where I fished 20 years ago, know where I am!

No boat, back in the suds.

Driving to BJ's this am, I saw a guy walking along the street boarding white horse beach in Plymouth carrying a striper I'd estimate a maybe 20lbs, my guess is it came from the salt pond.

Over the slot or a fat fish?
