Any guesses as to when the last NJ SURF BASS will be caught this year?

[storminsteve]

I say this week. or middle of December at the latest.
I heard the fat lady warming up this morning.
The weather predictions say this will be a tough winter.
I'm not looking forward to it, to say the least.http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon9.png

Oh please, you guys don't know how lucky you are. We haven't had fish for a month now, they're all down by you. And we don't start getting any decent bass till May, when you get yours in March and April. I can't feel sorry for that.:kooky:

The last bass caught will be on December 31st. :HappyWave:

Regardless, next year, there will be guys claiming they were hammering bass out front in Jan after everyone left and they had them all to themselves.

We talking ocean on the sand only? SNJ Back bays still has a bite going with some teen sized mixed in

One of my rules is 3 days that it doesn't go over 40 degress in the daytime is bad bad..baddd and we got it forecasted for next week.

I say you should include all bass caught from land, inlets, or bridges, no?

^^You can catch the last one, bro. I'll be standin right down the line from ya. Maybe I'll catch the next to last one. :) :fishing:

[storminsteve]

I hope to be able to stick it out as long as you guys as well. I guess it all depends on the weather.

[rip316]

they should still be here then

[wish4fish]

nothing but baby bass around. even in the back we can get a bigger fish or two this time of year but there is not much to catch the water is too cold. i havent caught a fish in weeks of trying.:burn:

[fishinmission78]

Unless it warms up a bit there won't be a lot of action from here on in. Might go back to fishing worms or clams to get one last 2010 bass.

The OGB said yesterday his log shows for the last few years, surf action shuts down between Dec 13-19. I tend to agree with that... the action is winding down. Any further predictions?

I will be fishing on my xmas Vacation. I know the water Temperature at the Buoy dipped to 48.5 deg on Sunday night Monday morning and Fish were still caught on plugs I wish I knew what the actual surf temperature were. I guess if the water Temps drop below 45 it will be game over for plug fishing. I'm still very anxious to get out. It’s going to take awhile to get weaned off of the idea of fishing.

Me too vpass.
I guess dec 29.

[plugcrazy]

I say Dec 30. I just found a house fly in my house that was as big as a beetle. One of those big horse fly type of nasty flies. By this time of year they are all usually dead or gone from our area. Not this one. He flew around me and dared me to kill him. I missed. Time to get the heavy artillery out!

There's finally some fish at night, not willing to give up just yet....
