Please post fishing reports here.......as little or as much detail as you want to give.
Please note: NO SPOT BURNING! Posts burning spots will be Edited or DELETED!
Some veteran fishermen have put in years developing and learning about certain spots.Some of these spots can only handle a few guys at a time. We are losing enough access as it is, due to the unfortunate behavior of a few selfish people. No sense in making it worse.
For some areas, it would be wiser to say:
Out Front (Ocean) OR -- Out Back (Bay) -- if you feel too many people will figure out what you are talking about. "Spot burning" also could involve mentioning something specific only to that area. If you do this, your post may be edited, or deleted. Remember that thousands of people could potentially read these posts. You don't want to be fishing next to ALL of them at the same time!
IF you are fishing an area that is NOT residential, being vague is less critical. For example, it's acceptable to say (Any)Park, or (Any)Bay, or mention a specific state park that has loads of parking and can handle the crowds.
If you are unclear on this concept, ask yourself:
If I name this place on the internet, will it be too crowded for me to enjoy tomorrow when people hear I got 30 fish here today?
If the answer is "Yes", then you should probably not be so specific.

We post these reports so our community will have a sense of what is working, what is not. We want to show people how to catch fish, rather than where.Even if you struck out or got skunked, it would be helpful to hear that as well.
If you have any additional details you would like to share - weather conditions, tide (incoming, outgoing, ebb, flood) water temps, bait present, or other mention of techniques or plugs used - feel free.

Fall fishing so far, consistency as varied as night and day.....
Way to get out there guys. There was a lot of fishing last night and this morning and not much catchin going on.
Finchaser still has the hot poker hand, that basstard grouch. :moon: :clapping: :HappyWave:
I fished all night, 7 different stops. Nothing until first light, when there was a 5 minute window of activity where I was, managed a short bass on a mullet profile swimmer, and that was it.
At sunrise, the mullet and peanuts started moving in various locations. Nothing under them in most areas of the county I was in but tiny snappers. Comparing notes with people in different towns later, I found that most guys got nothing on the artificials, save for a handful of bass caught around sunrise over a 15 mile stretch of coast.
Meanwhile all the bait any predator could want, strategically bunched up in the usual locations, with nothing eating it but small blues. :huh:
The highlight of the night was running into Vpass, always a pleasure...:HappyWave:
He did me a favor when he left and warned of a line of storms coming my way, gee those smart phone apps are amazing.... :cool: Thanks, much! :thumbsup:
I did get wet in the drenching sheets of rain because I had one last place I wanted to fish in that area before I moved on. Eventually it became too much and I had to move. Went 5 miles away from that area and there was no rain at all, unfortunately, no fish either, till first light, which has been a somewhat consistent pattern so far...
Fishing was pretty dismal, but one thing I can tell ya's...
It was no worse than Montauk's surf bite lately, and about 120 miles closer.... :)
