Another DS fish less marathon but with a positive side it rained so you got to take a shower.:clapping:
Reason season is ending, very simple no bait, too much south wind which made water cold very quick then again it is mid December.
Way things are going bass fishing maybe permanently over before we know it ,I just saw a picture from Virginia of 20 fish over 40# laying dead on a dock. Oh yeah they were caught by recreational fisherman who always blame it on something or someone else

They can always put the blame on others. As long as you get your 40lber who cares about anyone else?
Agreed finchaser. Am starting to see some of those pics. Fill the coolers with meat and get your citation fish. That's what its all about.:kooky:
I fished moco today, some jetties, from 4-5. Last of the outgoing tide. Big monster swells out there. Dirty water. Fished a bucktail and rind, nothing.

Thanks for the reports and details. Am living vicariously through them.

There is hardly any bait around at all. I think even the mole crabs are thinning out. Fished this morning nomoco. 2 hours of the incoming. One short bass on a bucktail and pork. conditions windy but fishable.
There was one guy clam fishing. he had 5 rods out. He was catching one short bass about every 15 minutes on those rods. They were all short bass. Since when do you need 5 rods to sit out there and fish for short bass with clams.?:huh: In all it was a beautiful morning. Could see scattered birds picking away, but they were about a mile off.

Nice going hooked. One is better than none.

Marathon man (DS) braved the elements last night all night ( in case the world really was ending today) for nada he is starting to hear her sing.
Re: NJ Fishing Reports for December 2012..www.StripersandAnglers.com
^^ Aah....grumble, grumble, grumble....Gloom and Doom Finchaser...that's what they call him in Castaways at the Old Farts Table...:laugh: :kiss:
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ut-there/page5
But you do speak the truth....there are very few fish around because there isn't that much food for them.....
And the water temps are different from last year.....
Listen to the Old Grouchy Basstid....he knows stuff...:learn:....don't listen to me...I'm just a delusional dillydock...:laugh:
Met up with the OGB yesterday to work the end of day tide.....
It was dismal.....he ended up fishing 3 hours without a touch....I came late so it was 2 hours for me.....
In the end we realized it was futile as there was a building S/SE....getting cold......
He, having the sense of a normal fisherman....left at a reasonable time......:thumbsup:
As always, the grumbling and grouchiness made it worth the trip...don't know what I would do if I didn't have my daily dose of grumbling from the OGB...:HappyWave:
We both knew the best fishing windows this week were Wed, and Thu AM.
Just trying to get a few casts in before the storm.....
After he went home, I tried a few regular places that have produced in those conditions........
Gave it 2 hours more, packed it in for the night......
Slept in my car hoping for some action before I had to drive to work today...
It was not to be as the night rains were torrential....causing flooding in some areas....and the winds were up to 45mph,...rocking my car as I slept.....
As I said the best fishing window
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...fishing+window
was Wed, and Thur till the late afternoon.....
By that time the swell had dropped to 2.6'
Duration 13 secs......:drool:
Within a few hours of that the swell increased to 10', duration 7 secs...and by morning the swells were as high as 16' with duration of 4 secs......
This will kill the opportunity for numbers of fish on artificials the next 24 hours at least...and possibly till Sunday.
And with limited bait that is around....could be the final call for Finchaser's Favorite Fat Lady......:moon: :HappyWave:
You can still pick up some fish with clams....but some of ya's should start noticing that many keepers, if you can find them, will have nothing in their stomaches.....not a good sigh for those who are expecting those fish to stay here through the winter.....:learn:

Haha I remember the story of Billy the Greek saying he had to change his boats when he fished because guys knew his and would follow him. Maybe you should use different vehicles to throw him off. Didn't they do that back in the day when the old timers used to fish Sandy Hook? One of the guys at Giglios said they used to park in one location and fish in another.
I went down to nomoco today for some casting practice. That's all it was because the wind was fierce but the water was dirty and it was cold and ugly out there. Fished from 3-5. skunk for me.:skunk: maybe some of you hardcores will brave it too but I would say it isn't worth it.

^^ This is why when people read that he manages some teen fish they think he has some sort of special deal with the devil.....and the simple truth is that he puts more time on the water, than most...he is also able to accurately predict when most of the fish should be leaving, or when they may be around......all this, and more, in the upcoming......
