Up until Friday night pretty slow for larger fish - but 30 minutes doesn't make the Fall. Just small bass otherwise, very few bluefish.

Last 2 weekends I concentrated on the S. Shore. Got a buddy who lives near the beach. Still and hour drive for me. Last weekend I threw everything at them, topwater, plugs, rubber, nada. For sh^ts and giggles I tossed on a white bucktail and started catching shorts. Was the only lure they'd hit (old reliable). Went back this past weekend with a few more bucktails on hand just in case. 3rd cast and I hook up with a short....as well as every other cast after that. Thinking there must be a bigger fish in the mix. Gave a bucktail to my buddy who caught an 18 lb fish within 10 casts. It was his best fish this year from shore....after being skunked 5+ times before yesterday.
I continued to catch a few more shorts, but once the sun came out the bite shut off. I kinda wished I had some clams to chunk. Might make another trip there....make a tog trip, then concentrate in So Co after that. I'll fish till Halloween then pack it in.
I was very surprised to not see any bluefish where we were.

Sadly it has been worse than dead up at the tip of the Cape, beach or boat. Bait - sand eels and mackerel- are all over the place, but no fish, either bass or blues, are under or in the bait.

Only bright spot for the last 10 days or so was at night, near one of the lighthouses up here, people getting bass up to mid-twenty pound range, but that has slowed down now. Amazingly, we could never find those fish the next day from the boat, shallow nor deep.

Still no tuna bite at Peaked Hill, although did get a report of a sighting of them over that way. Most tuna getting caught over by the SW corner.

Sooooo, just hoping and wishing that it's still going to happen, but getting a bit discouraged and not sure it will.
