Try sunset too!  |

Are you fishing at night? Dark nights are best. The september new moon is coming, get out there for that (wish I could but a certain someone is getting married). Eels are probably your best bet, but if you don't want to go there i'd suggest black sluggos (google sluggos and steve mckenna - you'll find what you need) and/or dark needles and swimmers (can't lose with a bomber a-salt).
look for rocks and deep water. or a shallow place with structure near deep water on a dark night.
fish are still in a summer pattern from what I see and aren't on the move yet, so if your not getting them at a certain spot and tide one night, they probably won't be there the next either. very soon things will change and they'll start to move, then it will be more hit or miss and you'll have a good shot a fish by driving around and looking for them. If you find them during the day on peanuts, nothing will outfish a bone rebel jumpin' minnow retrofitted with 1/0 vmcs IMO.
Good luck and stick to it.

Got a call last night from a Boston commuter who pulled over and jumped into the surf in his business attire last night. Two townlines south of me. 35" fish in the report. Morning and dusk blitzes are due to start up. Metal,shads, and wire leaders are must haves for the blitz bag. Change gears for fall.
