Seems like a horrible weekend.

[Pops Soul]

The Fall run starting later, But seems like the spring run of stripers is longer  Heck Joe we had Bunker schools in the area through the middle of July.

[IrishAyes]

Yup, the past couple of years the spring run had been much better than the fall run.  Never was like that before.  It has to do with the huge number of bunker that are in the area in the spring.

And what appears to be the lack of adult bunker in fall.

Spring has been OUTSTANDING past several years, especially last year,

Horrible for fishin yes, but we did manage to get out both Sat and Sun afternoons, DVR'd the gamez, found a spot for the boat for winter storage AND a slip for next yr, and picked a sh!tload of tomatoes (when will they ever stop?)

Report:
Sat: glass in the Navesink, a few birds working, nutz many places. Shrewsbury a lil choppier but not bad. Bay had rollers and chop but manageable, a few blues but nothing to write home about. The rip was rough, laid down outside but still nada fishez...

Sun: choppier overall in the rivers; mostly worked some holes/birds in the Navesink. I was throwing metals which were probably too big so again a zippomagnet.  Sweetie didn't feel like Hookin' it so we only made it out to the bay to get some fuel then took a boat ride up the Shrewsbury. Did not see a fish landed but lotsa nutz again especially near sunset (which comes quickly nowadays.) Cast and quick retrieve you could snag them pretty easy but nothing doin if you let sink and jig under them.

Not horrible, way better than work....

Hey Wb you need to watch how you write things, the one line in your report dosen't sound right
not unless you have more going on then just fishing

[wb]

I like that fiery text too gonna use it sometime...

[IrishAyes]

Too funny Skip.  I locked up a judges daughter once for hookin.     She certainly wasn't a sweetie though.

Welcome! I love Maine! I took a trip to Boothbay Harbor last year. Didn't catch a fish over 18"'s but who cares when you're in such a great place. I plan to visit the state much more often, so keep the info coming!
