Fall Run, Late October & A Full Moon

With this combination, wondering what everyone's thoughts are for the days approaching this new moon and the days immediately following?

Fishing still seems to be active in Cape Cod bay although fish are definitely on the move. Was thinking it's time to head more south, either along the Elizabeth's/MV area or perhaps Narr Bay.

There are still lots of fish north of boston. I'd save the gas money for when you really need it.

I could be dead wrong, but the way this Fall run has gone, I believe that the fish that are North will go by on the outside. P-Town to Cutty to Block to Montauk. Or the Canal to Buzzards Bay to the Elizabeths maybe a few strays in Westport and Sakonnet and then to Montauk.
Here's another crazy idea. This may be the first years in many that the Block lights up on the full moon in Oct and the new moon in November.

No boat, back in the suds.

I think your right on paul...What people fail to realize is that those fish on the North shore ...are not fish that end up in Rhody waters, they are Mostly made up of Chesapeake strain bass which summer on the outer cape and along up the north shore, they also leave the same way...those are fish that also end up at block island so this could be a great year out there...

Most of rhodys fish are Hudson river strain, which summer around the elizabeths..westport etc...Its those fish that come by the inshore waters of rhody...But then again no one knows...

If I were still in the surf, the place I would go this weekend is GOOSEBERRY....Its always been a real good spot on or near Halloween...after that all Napatree

Other places I would be concentrating on right now is Woods hole, Knobska, The knob, or if you can get a little row boat and head for the little Island just off of Knobska...There are some good bass there as of late last week anyway....Al those canal fish end up out there..

But what do I know, I dont fish the surf...........

Still plenty of good fish around Mass. Its slowed a bit from last week, but still very good.Had seven fish the last two nights 25-34# from shore. Cloudy tonight with a light wind should make for a good backdrop of conditions to hit the surf. Still hunting the one I dropped last week.

No, you lighten up, I can suggest anything I want, this spot stuff is still going on?? gimmie a break...Halloween, gooseberry ...equels Large bass..

My best fall surf fishing in rhody was always At napatree the first two weeks of November, pay particular attenton around the 8th to 12th of the month..It should be great this year with a new moon and falling water..Its especially good after a southeast blow that goes northwest...Early in November I have cleaned house at Central beach, huge fish but the conditions have to be right..its only suggestions from past experiances

I'd have to agree, Bill can be a PITA (Hi Bill ) but he made a recommendation; he didn't say I caught X at Y last night....

I think there is a HUGE differnece, that often gets lost between spot talk and spot REPORTS.

I see no harm in saying fish Charlestown Breachway on the dropping tide, E wind is best, etc.
I see harm in saying - masive blitzes of 30lb fish at Ctown last night
I see Bill's comments as good advice, but not burning anything. In fact, its nothing different that Bill's OTW article last year or so on fall fishing in RI.

Bring some plugs too. Let's transition from spot talk to plugs vs. eels.

Where does an eelskin plug fit into this equation.

DZ - respectfully I disagree, people chase reports and not spots. Lets look at some evidence. - Remember the infamous Steve McKenna OTW article. How it was debated out here for weeks and everyone was ready to lynch Steve? I regularly fish 75% of those spots he mentioned, and usually in the exact conditions he mentioned and I have seen NO increase in fisherman in these areas - zip.

Post a hot report - report chasers will flock there
Post some info on when areas are productive - those who are seeking information will digest it and use what they'd like. If report chasers go there, 99% of the time they'll be disappointed becasue NO SPOT is that predicable
