I also fished a state north of NJ and picked up a few bass ocean side in the dark. Sun up, lots of bait, peanuts, small cocktail blues every so often on them. Since they're all dead ,you should stop fishing for them and sell all of your gear. Its a big waste of time and effort Moose and joefishnj21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 got a couple hours this morning to play around in the dark and first light. went 11 for 14 on cookie cutter 6 lb bass in the back and landed one on a popper at sunrise cut from teh same mold. I guess the tons of 2-3lb fish from last year are now 5-6lbers. DragonsLax48, Eric_S, Lateral Line and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most were happily swimming, some were being harrassed by bass and albies. They were headed towards NJ at about 1mph. If it was Mass, then they should arrive in Moco in 10 days.

MC55 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Couldn't get out early so made a late morning trip. Really nice looking water with the east wind. Walked the sand throwing a bunch of stuff with no interest from anything. Saw a ton of bugs back in the wash line but with the white water rolling couldn't see if there was anything else around. Looking at my log this sure is a very slow September compared to last year. May take a look to the north in the morning. DeeMonee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is that the fish, even the smaller resident bass that always seem to be cruising the lip, are keyed on baitfish in fall. Peanuts, mullet, and sand eels seem to be their meal of choice. Is that sound logic or do you continue floating the bugs into late fall/early winter? Thanks in advance.

I usually move on from the bugs when the other bait sources show up, but with the amount of them in the wash this afternoon I may take out the bugging rod in the morning.

Danny1199 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Late report, yesterday (Sunday). MoCo, had a couple of bumps before sunrise on a swim shad, then nothing. Saw mullet and rainbait, nothing on them. Happy bait. Water still felt really warm especially for it being almost October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thats a plus. apache67 and ridenfish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bigdeal Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Boat guys are getting them.....saw some large schools pass through SOC heading south over the weekend. "Law enforcement’ is not something sovereign citizens seize from police officers. It is a societal function that citizens delegate to civil police. In so doing, we do not abdicate our own sovereignty, nor our duties as citizens. Ultimate responsibility is still ours. When those we hire as our “Protectors” are either unwilling or unable to perform that function at the critical moment, there is no law, nor standard, that says we cannot perform it for ourselves"........
