Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
I got out yesterday figuring this would be my last outing along the oceanfront if the fishing was poor. I tried multiple late season spots that had produced in past years. I made a lot of casts and came away with exactly one small schoolie and one hickory shad. I saw no bait, no birds working and no other fishermen until a few showed up at dark in a popular "meeting and bs spot". It felt like it was over.
From what some of the townies are telling me, there is still a trickle of fish moving through. Normally at this time, it should be a lot better with a last hurrah and lots of action. Not this year. I think we are really seeing the shortage of fish which we have seen most of the year. Normally, there aren't many stripers towards the end anyway but with a lot less fish around, there really aren't many. Hate to say it, but it's a preview of what's to come next year.
So, unless I hear anything great, my season is over. I may dabble in holdover fish but they have not been in their winter locations either at this point, another bad sign. I'm still freshwater carp fishing, but they have also slowed to a trickle in this cold weather.
But, alas ski season is just about here, and I'm ready to go. I also have high hopes for ice fishing this year as last year was just super for me on the hardwater. So, always something to do year round here in New England if you like the outdoors.
