If you're not fishing in Aug and September, you're going to miss out. There's no such thing as a traditional Fall run anymore as there's seemingly only one body of large fish and those fish got hammered on at the Ditch. That one pod of fish isn't moving with water temps either, they're moving when the angle of the sun changes. Ding ding ding. Yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1980s saw schools of big fish mid Nov at Block, but that lategame of large seems to be past tense nowadays. When the overall population was back up, 10..15 years ago, some guys still caught a few late run big fish early Nov in Boston harbor (boat fish) and some were around mid Nov, RI.

bRichards Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 There were probably some nice fish caught this fall in RI. Some. Not a lot, but some. And they were caught by more dedicated individuals than I What's a glut of fish in a seven mile stretch of man made river isn't much of a glut when it comes down massive stretches of coast in dribs and drabs. For the places outside of the canal those fish present big fish opportunities that you'll miss if you sneeze at the wrong time. Not a bad year at all, if I break down the stats in the logbook, I have no room to complain. It was just inconsistent, weird, and frustrating. This fall was off though. I for one still favor October over September (although there's months I'd take over either). NE blow in October in certain little inlets you can piss half way across on a good day is the last gasp of "automatic" quality fishing there is in RI. Well it didn't happen this year to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spoke with him that night and the day after. It was absolutely all of 58. You're free to look it up online if you like. There are some very good fishermen in Rhode Island. And sometimes, despite the odds, they land some huge fish. Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive. Hemingway, Old Man and the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frezzy Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 It was caught from surf and its a real pic. Killed it with no intention of eating it. It was donated to a food kitchen. Just a trophy fish I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riarcher Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) When they get that big they don't generally recover so good after a battle. Like a old man,, they just don't bounce back like a youngun. I remember (and miss) the old "sow bellies" of the 60's & 70's. Don't see them much anymore. Seems no matter how big they get they still have the "racer / torpedo" profile in comparison... least from what I've come across the last 20+ yrs. or so. IMO,, It's certainly "Braggin Sized" for this day & age. I commend him for passing it off to a "kitchen". Many are Retirement homes or VA's where the folks just can't get out anymore. Brings them back some good memories and well deserved. I've worked in such places. Kudos to the man,, well done.

ljschroe Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 My son (to get back on topic) dropped a 34-35 inch fish this morning. Dozens at the beach, but that was a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
