Decorum is out the window.  I used to have disdain for the binocular guys up on the sea wall, they have the pass now.  My new hate is for the scum sucking bottom feeding losers who stand behind a line-up of guys casting and wait for the bait to get sprayed to wiggle themselves into spots that would make a mouse feel claustrophobic.   

 

I actually had someone cast over my head from behind me today. Can’t make it up.

Can somebody start a new jersey etiquette thread?

There's a chance I wasn't far from you.  The guy smoking a cigar 15 feet from the waterline ripping his pencil past peoples knees?

I have been fishing for over 50 yrs have caught my share of fish I am not going to jump into a crowd or if one starts around me I’ll just walk away plus too old to be running down the beach when there’s a blowup.  enjoy

honestly i didn’t get a good look at the perp and I do my best to not really pay attention to the crowd. id say there’s a good chance because its been an absolute cluster in the spot i like to fish this time of year

NoMoCo. Lost a monster today. Hooked up at the very end of the cast as soon as the lure hit the water about 40 yards out (Al Gag’s 6” Whip-it fish). Never saw it. Only basing it on the fact that I could barely reel it and my rod was bending like never before. Guy walking past asked if I was snagged. It was dead weight at times. Got it about halfway in before it unhooked after a big wave passed. Caught a 46” last week. No doubt this was bigger. Can’t sleep now. Replaying it over and over. FML:(

Haven't even seen bass feeding in casting distance this Fall....I must have angered the fish gods. Not even a bump yet...I need to get on the board.

If ya just got on the panty train this would be a non issue.  Nobody crowds RC.  When they do they receive the horniest of receptions.  
RC: 86 wins 3 losses by decision

Googans: 3 wins 226 losses by TKO

Fishing report: Water is wet.

Missing the party this week due to change in work schedule the next 2 weeks. Managing quick PM outings to stay sane.

 

Got into the end of a bite yesterday. 2 27” clean beauties on small poppers in an hour at dusk. They were hitting peanuts in tight. Easy casting to keep my sanity and Zen.

I was out.

I was mugged.

I was gone.

I wish for the coldest freaking weather to keep some people home.

I dunno abt NJ but it was damn cold in mass this am. Upper 20s where I live. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) it's gonna zoom right back into the 60s this weekend.

2-7:30pm yesterday, couple spots, really tried to avoid the crowds but was futile in that regard.  Hard crosswind, decent surf.  Hatch is peanuts (2" and 4") and a civilization of sand crabs.  As stated fish seemed picky, but could be just me.  Hooked two, tin and talkin popper, dropped both in the wash.  Plan was to fish all of the incoming but the cold did me in early.  Happy to have made it out but a little frustrating, still 0/ on the season.

I gotta bring a tin out(Hopkins or kastmaster) keep forgetting that thing. I seen a few people this fall doing well. I should know better with the peanuts and needing that distance at times.
