Did you have a guide on the island or figure that out yourself.... Anyone who fished or read books about BI knows about “Block Island green”, right? I had the usual assortment of green needles, darters and ML swimmers but for some reason they weren’t working that well during this trip. So I went to Twin Maples and saw the big bombers in parrot color. I decided to buy them cause they were so pretty, lol. And why the hell not? Nothing else was working. I didn’t expect the good results but here we are Edited November 25, 2021 by GeoffT SIC34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjsurf2014 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Walked up over the dune at dark this morning on a beach in OC…I then said to my son, “is it really Thanksgiving?” A total of about 6 guys as far as I could see. Fished for a bit and nothing, ocean was dead. Grabbed some breakfast and then hit another spot. Same thing, ocean was dead and no more than about a dozen people as far as I could see. Hope somebody had a bit of luck this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowwwride Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Ask and ye shall receive…. Moco out front from false dawn until 10 am. Had fish from rats up to keeper size. With the average in the 25” range. I had at least two keepers. I released all of my fish. No blitz but a very steady bite. The dude next to me put on an absolute clinic including one fish that was a total slob! The party boats were not far off shore chasing the birds around. Definitely crowded but everybody was respectful. Small bait moving by not sure if they were sand eels or peanuts. Either way it was a good day for it. Unfortunately the weather looks to be heading south tomorrow. bdowning, EricDice, adams54 and 6 others 9 Smoke 'em if you got 'em, we're going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimo95 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 First time surf fishing in the dark last night. Lower OC from 730-10:00, incoming tide. Really no wind and didn’t see another soul. Threw the bag and not a tap. Night fishing is a whole different beast.

Dont try anywhere you havent fully scouted out during the day. At some point everything becomes muscle memory and instinct. You will gain confidence. You will know when you're ready.

Thanks for the tip. I fished an area I knew from fishing it during daytime. The one thing I had to learn quick was when my lure was close to me and to stop reeling before it was too late. Lol. Other than that it wasn’t bad, not intimidating. I will definitely try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did at least get to fight that fish for 5 minutes or so. She was big and a drag ripper . When I fell she got unhooked by the time I got my **** together. But the fight is all I really care about. Blurple sp didn’t come off the whole night, they wanted it. Tight lines. 100% of my fish have been in the dark since October RU fishin', Whortleberry, KrocFoot and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeeeels Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 2nd shift last night only produced waves on light bearing googans. A whole minivan full of them. Did manage to pick a few on jigs and plugs. Right now I’m watching a battle between the boaters tight to the beach and the surf casters. Im thankful that I’m not in it!!!! Eeeeels……….
