Little fishy get off my hook song????????????????????????????

I wouldn't be surprised if he sang the fish a lullabye. That should be the anthem for you c&r guys.

Dont worry be happy? You guys are nuts.
Hi and welcome surfrob! glad to see the site back up

[ledhead36]

Welcome to the asylum surfrob. Look forward to your posts. Fished the bay tonight from the top of the tide to a little after dark. A few little bass and weakfish. All on clams and pieces of spot. We did get one keeper at 29". First keeper of the fall it was sent back for good luck.

Nice Leadhead!

I was out yesterday afternoon into Dark (quit around 8:30pm) and ran into some good company.

I managed two shorties both fat but one was round. Has two other fish that were on for a few seconds before popping off and at least 12 hits/misses. Water was a bit stained all of my hits came on a rattling plug after jerking it. There was no interest in the teasers yesterday out of all the fish I saw caught none came on a teaser. Tough conditions (still a decent sized surf) felt like I left some key plugs behind in the car but I kept getting hits so I didn't want to walk back.

haha with emphasis on the old!
surfer rob welcome aboard. I don't know you but if dark vouches for you you must be a good guy. Where do you fish out of mostly?

Nowadays, just due to time (or rather lack thereof!), Brigantine with jaunts along Absecon Island and surrounding bay areas, which I confess
I do not know well enough to call them "home"... yet

( oh yeah, thanks for the e m b a r r a s i n g l y warm welcome DS , found this forum while doing an internet search about cinder worms of all things LOL)

[finchaser]

Played the same stage of tide tonight as this morning 5:30 to 7:30 and released 19 bass to 27" all on 1 ounce jig head and 6" chartreuse silk shaker tail. Fish shut off as soon as it was totally dark.

Nice!

[robmedina]

well I wish I had Fin's report to tell but in reality 1 weakie in 10 miles of surf.

[finchaser]

Fished the same place this AM adjusted a little for tide 6 to 8 AM released 11 bass to 24" all on jig head and a new tail by AAT that I am testing which worked well but are on the fragile side IMO. On a sad note fish are getting thinner by the tide due to less bait day after day.

Fished for a few hours this evening.


South wind is really blowing making it hard to fish out front.


I managed one bass around 27" on a DSM minnow and my brother got a smaller bass on one of my teasers along with a hickory.
