My son and I were out again yesterday on Jamaica Bay. And wow, what a difference week makes. Obviously one bad day can just happen. And we shifted up our strategy a bit. But we've been on the water every weekend on the Bay since the end of August. And the Stripers were out in force in a way that I hadn't seen so far this fall. We pulled a dozen out of the water all over 20 inches long, a few closer to thirty inches. Yesterday we were largely holding back, watching for surface action at a distance by watching the birds and then moving in to find where the bait fish were. We had two genuine feeding frenzies and lots of action over the course of eight hours. We mixed it up with some crankbaits and spoons but the real action was almost entirely on buck tails between one and two ounces.joshtpm replied to joshtpm's topic in Main Forum
Very helpful. I realize I was unclear on one point. We've been following surface action. But we haven't been casting surface lures. Just subsurface - 1 or 1.5 ounce bucktails and simple spoons. But this is very helpful.joshtpm posted a topic in Main Forum Crack navicat for mac. Understrap.
Hi. I'm new here. I wanted to ask for some pointers and possibly share some information about fishing *the south shore. My son and I are reasonably experienced fishermen. But we're entirely new to Jamaica Bay and all of the South Shore for fishing - and fairly new to blues and stripers. For the last couple months we've been renting a small boat and fishing for blues and stripers in the back *. We've probably gone out 7 or 8 times, starting in early September. We've caught a lot of nice, if not wildly large blues and stripers, a few into the 7 or 8 pound range, all catch and release. We're working entirely off the surface, using lures, hunting around for surface commotion and baitfish getting corralled near shores and marshes etc. Last weekend we went out and we didn't see a single instance of surface commotion and we didn't even get a bite, let alone catch any fish. Clearly something pretty dramatic had changed from the previous six weeks. But we were in the dark about what. I was especially curious because my understanding at least was that blues and stripers in that area should be heating up over October rather than trailing off. Has anyone else seen that shift in the same area or in that general area. And for those who know the area better are there obvious things about recent weather or the runs or anything else that would explain it? Obviously, sometimes a day is just a bum day and it's a fluke. But it seemed like something more than that. So I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts, has seen the same thing or has any ideas based on knowledge of that water. Thanks in advance! Josh

@joshtpm 7 Mar On the ‘bipartisanship is dead’ front one big thing that always has to be remembered is that the US didn’t really have a proper national two party system until the 1980s. Josh Marshall @joshtpm. Remarkably candid statement of where we currently are in the US. Dems aren't agreeing to 'engage' on the question of whether democracy is a good thing or not. Democracy is not a proposition that rests on the IQ of voters. This is autocracy framed as open-mindedeness.
