Jacks Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Hello Everyone! Given how well this went last year, it's time for this year's forum! Hopefully, your post will encourage someone to get off the couch and get out in the outdoors. Make sure to keep locations general and no spot-burning! Here's to good luck and lots of fish in 2023! liambrouillette, Popasilov, Richizzzle and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyrodder44 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 My we all have health, oportunity and the smiles of the fish Gods this year. But most important, may we have the companionship of fellow fishers we hold dear for that is what it is all about. Best of luck to all the SOL family. See you all on the water.

surfrat59 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Washed the waders/tops and cleaned/lubed all the reels so didn't make an attempt last week, went to Calverton to sling some lead instead...I consider that a good start to the year on a warm sunny morning. Tight lines everybody, looking forward to the spring already... MarshDragon, LowEnd and flysully 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheech Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Heavy fog yesterday on 38-41 degree murky, log/stick strewn, glass flat river water. First three hours of the drop were hectic, then it slowed for two hours. Tis better to remain silent and thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Finsup 421 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Went to cap tree Saturday looking for herring & found none but saw tons of bait in between the boats. Can’t wait for spring. CBFish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowEnd Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Took a quick trip to a back bay spot today for an hour or so. Nothing doing. Felt good to be out for the first time in 3 weeks. As long as the weather cooperates will try again soon. Popasilov and Richizzzle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to connect 2 jobs, family and the weather so I may be able to go down the local beach (1/2 miles away) and maybe take a few swings with my rod. Bad day fishing is still much better than good day work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pequa11 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Me too. One a day, nearly every day I kayaked in the backbay. Its been three years in a row, and they are cyclic, but fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWitek Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 They should be, I think Seems like at least three year classes in Great South Bay, with a fair number of small fish. I speak to researchers at Stony Brook who do fisheries-independent surveys, and they tell me that they're seeing increasing numbers in the Peconics, too. And I'm hearing about more being caught up in the Sound. Might not be the kind of fishing that we saw in the '90s, but it should be reliable for a few years CBFish and Popasilov 2 "I have always believed that outdoor writers who come out against fish and wildlife conservation are in the wrong business.
