Allejo Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I froze but found and caught a few fish. Missed more than I caught. I was stoked to catch on a used LI Fish In VT dartah I bought but was bummed out to find it has a crack. The night wasn’t as good as Monday and crowd 10x bigger but fish were where I thought they’d be so I can’t complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope somebody had a bit of luck this morning. Either way….lucky to be able to fish with Shane on a beautiful Thanksgiving morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty little push yest with the 2 foot waves that were forming on the waters edge. Sneaky strong. Could lose your footing if not careful. Yeah, had one sneak up on me yesterday morning and knock me down. Out this morning in the local waters expecting some activity since there were fish around yesterday evening. Just wasn't to be. Didn't see any bait anywhere with a flattening surf. Back on the search in the morning. Enjoy your Thanksgiving everybody.

Basswiper Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Happy Thanksgiving all! It's been an interesting Fall. Mostly schoolies for me...dropped a good one. Landed a couple at the 30" mark. Definitely putting my time in... Getting mobbed stinks...and it always feels worse after midnight for some reason. Or not getting mobbed but having that one indv. cross your line when noone else is in sight stinks. Then the only other person later on(maybe same, lol) almost does it again. My gas bill this fall could probably rival those coming from other states. At times I felt I was way ahead of the run, then way behind, way too north and way too south...finding a bite here and there. Some I've found but one person on the tip of a jetty not allowing a rotation isn't really fun or what I want to learn. My reports don't sway anyone im sure( I suck) but there is ZERO doubt the reports on here affect who is where and the info train... I lurked instead of reporting more the last few weeks and the changes with where ive seen people SEEM to align with strong comments here...or its coincidence? Having certain beaches for a few weeks to myself, certain reports increasez crowds increase... I'm not hating but I see the frustration many of you have dealt with over the years. Especially when you don't have a lot to fall back on... End of day: Thankful I've been given an opportunity to chase this magnificent creature and the experiences that come along with! It's NOT over, haha Catch em up fellas! jjdbike, Bobster, chocodove and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing how close to shore you will catch bass, many times you will cast much farther than you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. At night, I point my rod tip to the left or right when reeling in close to me, not straight ahead. Several times when I started I had a plug winging back at my head.

saltyh2ofly Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Well it had to happen, met preacher on the beach after walking about 3/4 of mile. Totally worth it, blitz fishing for spin fishermen out far. But in close it was subtle but loads of bass in close. Wonderbread peanut BTD variant was deadly even when everyone left because the birds were gone. 20" to 33.567843" but all footballs.....thick and tough. NoMoCo had a few guys plus us yet two felt it was necessary to fish close. We purposely move away from others because I cast left, right not just straight out. The closest guy moved away after I asked him to, its all good. SurfCaster01289 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
