ljschroe Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) What's the word gentlemen...any fish in this big surf? I spent a couple of hours at the beach last night, but it would have been ..*obtrusive* to bring a rod out at the cookout I was at. I managed to get an hour in from shore at the mid-day low tide, but didn't have any luck where I had been catching them all week.

bdowning Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I know more than a few who're gonna try and find out. RI fishermen tend to run towards big water. Massholes tend to run away from it. I'm running towards it this afternoon, but I dunno if I have the cojones for Tues into Wed. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez2 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 It's very tempting. I used to run toward big surf as a young man. That was for big bass. Truthfully, it panned out about half the time. The other half was getting pounded reeling in weeds while risking your life for nuttin. Nowadays I find the pounding and soaking tiresome and I'd rather fish for albies. Albies can be good in snotty weather so long as the water stays clear. Suspended sand drives em far away. Thinking I could beat the storm, I went for albies friday to a popular large shore structure. The first four hours of the day were a loss for the eel grass the SW breeze packed in. No fish showed but a few were caught blind casting on flies. I think the single hook flies caught less weed. I only had trebles and was rare for weed free cast. One small blue kept away the skunk but disappointed to use one of my rare days for naught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I heard. The proverbial everyone-showed-up-except-the-fish deal. Still will give it a go this afternoon, maybe play with blues if nothing's hitting. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez2 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Kind of a bittersweet trip for me, beside getting no shots at albies, I wilted that evening after my all-nighter. I used to be able to fish all night, half the next day, drive 2 hours home and still be able to perform any further duties required. I was lucky I made it home at all. Was useless for the evening. Sucks getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albacized Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 There was some swell already starting to develop where I was this AM (NE RI), but there were still some albies around - although not caught by me. I did grab a few yesterday from the same location. I suspect the water will start to become discolored in due time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Already is, out front in spots. Inside the bay still relatively clean this afternoon, but plenty of surf. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambergris Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I left NYC Saturday at 3am, paddled around walls and rocks for about 5 hours until about noon, going 0 for 1. On the drive home, pulled over and slept for 25min on 95 near exit 65. Yes, getting old is tough, but it's better than staying the same age forever...maybe.
