Decided to try WH which was quiet and too much tide to fish right. Had Sauerkraut and the dog all eager to fish, while my heart wasn't in it. Said effit, pushed up the throttle and flew a dozen miles down to Quicks. Put the boat on a drift while SK casting with his 6' drop (on an 8' rod!) repeatedly tries to hook my ear. Almost too much cross wind to work plugs, lousy weather pattern, don't want to be there, too rough, and BANG........Sauerkraut hooks a decent, as in borderline #20, fish that puts him immediately in the rocks. Save his butt with some boat handling, circle back, and mackerel (?) start flying out of the water with bass in pursuit. Spend the next 2 hours catching fish (tiny-15#) and having a blast. Turn into the NE blow to head home, expecting to be beat up, and find that the full moon tide with the wind has flattened things out nicely. Easy run home, kept a fish for winter fishcakes, dog happy, wife happy, SK happy, I'm happy. In the late fall you just never know.

Tony is the best. I bought a leaning post from him for my first CC, many years ago!

was out Sunday in the area of the CT river mouth. nasty SE wind and a weird roll on the Sound made things unpleasant. found a bigg school of bunker that was periodically having bass grab a mouthful here and there- tried for 2 hours with everything we could think of and couldn't get bite. went to find another area but the weather was getting worse so we said Eff-it.
I hear about your heart not being into it..... I am so conflicted about whether to pack it in. it never really got started for me this Fall, but I'm tired of getting beat

Still finding loads of small fish along the Elizabeths with occasional decent bass mixed in.

Hitting fresh water tomorrow and I'm looking forward to some relaxing no pressure fishing for bass, crappie and pickeral. My salt water gear is stowed, other than some holdover gear if I choose to give that a try either later on this fall or if we have a mild winter.
