how has your fall been so far

i have not been out yet, hoping to get out next weekend...........

How have the rest of you guys been doing?

well i get the same results if i were to stay home.....1 bass so far this fall and dropped one.........limmited out on sundials and shad......things been slow on my end....i think the fall run ended before it even got started.......im hopeing to see some action in a couple more weeks

Went one time so far. A school of bass was within casting range and a few guys hooked up, but not me. Going Sun. am for another try.

My fall sucks so far  
$41,000. for a new knee to fish in the surf and can't find the bass to test it on.  
I might take up knitting  

Slow so far. Haven't had a bona fide keeper yet, but a bunch of nice healthy shorts. There is such an abundance of bait around that I feel it's keeping the bass scattered. This full moon should change things.

hey there Z......yea i used to sware buy the moon......now i sware at it.....lol

lol, I feel it has more to do with the bait than the bass.

thats pretty much what iv been hearing...........There is a ton of bait with not much on it.

if thats the case, im in need of an ugly Christmas sweater...........

Started out good for me in early October - many night of double digit bassin

Now - SUCKS! Slow and slower


I am still going - I do not know how to knit  

alright, so it went off earlier in the week........To the point that even OldSalts was able to bag a keeper.

its looking like im gonna get a chance to get out on Saturday for a few hours........Hopefully the fish are still there.

Rider - hope you made it out and found a few willing fish.


I fished IBSP for the 1st time ever.  Thursday night / Friday AM  through Saturday AM.  



Hooked a few and managed to only land one shorty.


Luck was not with us. see report

hit the park yesterday with the crew..........The beach was not as PACKED as what we had expected......Fished for a few hours, Saw a few bass caught by others,

BluesFish landed a quality bass at 35 inches/14lbs. It was caught on a SP Minnow, his first cast with that plug, and with one more crank of the reel the plug would have been out of the water. It just goes to show the the bass can be caught right at your feet.

Steve Adams missed on big hit, and I missed two. One was a quality hit, and i have no idea how i missed, and the other was just a bump and when i got my rig out of the water there were scales all over my teaser....

A coupe other people we talked too also caught a few bass right in the wash on Sp's also, I talked to Jeff a little later last night, and he said the bass was full of sand eels, so who knows how or why the bite is the way it is.

The water condition was insane, and looked super fishy... but i guess we missed the "hard bite" We just had to work a little harder than the people earlier in the week.

Was out Friday into Friday night and went 1 for 4. The last one I had on was a nice fish and battled with him a few minutes before coming unbuttoned. All of my hits were on the end of my cast in the breaking whitewater on the outer bar.

hit the park with the rest of the crew for our annual thanksgiving morning fishing trip.......There was a good number of us there, id say about a dozen. the wind was honking outta west/northwest at a stiff 15-20 and it was fucking frigid......

There were no bass caught, but we all laughed our asses off and had a great time...So that is all that matters....It was a great time with great friends both old and new............

yea the wind hasnt been in my favor....eather has work......got some time to go out monday for the evening bite a friend of mine got 1 fish on the fly rod in the wash......and i dropped a bass on a slugg-o which took the tail end and never hit the 8/0 they came in at dark and left just as fast as they came in water temp could be an issue didnt see any sandeels the short that was caught was like a foot ball fat a fat som bitch

I quit! Anyone have some used golf clubs at a good price :(

lol dave........ yea the water temps dropped big time...say im almost done with the kitchen job.......i still got a little fishing life in me might start hitting the jettys for some local bass ...at least i say that now

I usually fish SH, well yesterday Was nice so I decided to go to IBSP. It was real nice there and hardly anyone on the beach, also no fish as expected lol !!! Then today I read a report that everyone was catching fish at the hook, that's how my fall is going lol!!! 

My fall started slow was in Montauk for a few days and got one fish. The mullet run didn't last to long but managed a few fish out of it. All fish caught in lbi during the run. Things slowed down for a little then got into a few good night bites at ibsp. Bite then turned to a daytime bite for a little. Still schoolies in numbers but to cold for me anymore lol. All in all my fall ended up being pretty decent. Biggest fish out of the fall for me was just shy of 30 lbs.

worst fall I have ever had, my best day was in late Oct caught some shorts and that was it for the fall and I must have been out at least 20 times
