We fished everywhere from SW Point, Dories, Gracies to Mansion beach to the SE Side from Old Harbor Point to Cat Cove on every combination of tides. None of us ever got a bump. Needlefish, live eels, swimmer, tins, Hogys, jigs nothing. Spoke with Chris at Fish Works and he said the only fish for over a month have been in New Harbor and they are all schoolies. They disappeared after Sandy.
I'm not trying to discourage you guy. I am just setting realistic expectations. I hope the fish show when you are out there.

Paul,
Well that's an encouraging report. Going to have to depend on transient fish - call it a crapshoot at best. Oh well, will eat well and hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

DZ, sorry about the report but I thought it best that you guys knew how bad it has been. Hopefully this NE storm will more fish to you. Funny thing was the water was really clean Sat and Sun and there was no bait anywhere, not even in the pond.

I'm sure Spence was blabbing the whole time and that noise would scare off any fish that may have been around. |

Actually it was Spence's Birthday on Saturday and he never said a word. I got an email from his wife late Sat night so Sunday morning I sang him HBD.
We had a great time, made some memories that will never be forgotten and I got to spend some time with 2 great friends. |

Nothing to be sorry about Paul - I hate sugar coating - tell it like it is. I'd rather expect slim pickings and be pleasantly surprised than expect good action and be disappointed.
