S&A Education Series: Understanding back bay bait migration and fishing patterns

[fishinmission78]

You're a regular Dr Doolittle, aren't you Dark?

"Talks with the animals, walks with the animals" - now you talk to flowers too, that's par for the course!

Or you could call him the Pied Piper of the swans.

Bait, swans and flowers, this one has it all. Thanks for the laughs, and the helpful knowledge.

Dark was born at the wrong time. I think he would have been happier growing up in the 60's, flowers, acid trips, free love, and the hippy chicks with the hair under their arms.

You can still find those girls, just go to any Horde or (reincarnation of) Grateful Dead concert.









btw Dark, I saw that report of that fish you got the other night, as Borat says very nice!
On the release.

omg, that was a disgusting pic to wake up to!
Just wondering if any of you guys are still fishing the back bays now, or if you think all the rains pushed the fish out to the ocean. Thanks

I don't think the bay action is done the bait is still schooling up my Spring spot had 16 lb. blues and bass on bunker schools in Oct. last year and I couldn't fish, the waters not that cold the inlet and ocean may produce steadier action the only way to know is to give it a shot but remember it could be overnight that the bait and fish take off personally I like the inlets it may not be great but the fish have to get through it to leave and the bait likes to hang out there, don't overlook the pockets of the inlets many of big fish hide there.Its the hardest time to pinpoint where the fish are try and keep up with the bait pods and reliable reports, for NJ pay attention to the NY reports also (the ones on here are pretty accurate) as well as your own they are coming your way but nothing is carved in stone will they hit the beach or swim offshore past us.

And all the life back there depends on the mullet and peanut bunker for the best action. By the full moon next week the mulllet should be all in the surf gauntlet. Get ready.

^^^^^Add the sedges to that. You would be surprised at the size of some of the bass feeding where those little creeks dump out.

Do you guys notice a time during the year when the bigger bass just disappear from those little creek areas? thanks
