The fish are still around... I had about 3-4 consecutive night getting skunked at my regular holes in RI... Sat down read some books, compared my notes from the last couple seasons... and decided to change the type of area to fish... to make a long story short... since last thursday night I have been in a school of fish, granted most all in the 20-28in range, but LOTS. Tusday night my bud and I each probably unhooked 10 fish a piece in 3 hours... and we both lost a monster fish...
As most are still fishing the outer waters, getting slammed with the big swells lately, the hole ive been fishing, I don't even wear my dry top... its been 7 days and the millions of silver sides and p-bunker are overwhelming at this one same spot.
Truth be told, I AM AMAZED I haven't seen a single person other than the 2 of us fishing this spot... As I am still a strong believer, whether the bait is around or not, stripers are on the move south... and have been for the last couple weeks... the difference, I think there are a large number or BIG fish still coming down from the cape... I heard reports from guys in boats and from shore catching 40lbs + from wellfleet to westport... all in the last couple days.
Im going to stick it out this season later than normal, to justify "the RUN"... Id keep at it guys...
GOOD LUCK and tight lines.  |
