Mitch G. Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Got up early and saw the almost perfect day for fishing, esp. at this time of the year.....very light wind and 60 degrees at 6:00am....no shower, quick breakfast, grabbed 2 rods, and headed off to a local little spot where I've been getting alot of 1-2 pound fish...I know there are bigger fish in there just gotta put time in lately....been hitting the shoreline the past 3 weeks and finally paid off....Started off with a bunch of nice 2# schoolies cruising shallow(less than 2 FOW)..7 total to start the morning......continued onward and casting my spinnerbait and the line just stopped and I knew it was game on!!......Got the big boy in and released after a few quick self pics.....Fish was 20" and FAT...4 and a half pounds!!!.......2 casts later got his brother a solid 3.8 pound fish.....Nailed a few snot rockets after that and decided to call it a day..Happy Halloween!!!!!...Here's a few to prove it happenned: Scary Bass on Halloween!!!.....Four and a half pounds!!!! His brother also came a knockin'......3.8 pounds!!! Few dinks also: Bonus shot of me and Debi at Starland Ballroom on Tuesday Night before the show with the Winery Dogs....Great band featuring Billy Sheehan, Richie Kotzen and Mike Portnoy....check em out.....best band in the last 30 years!!!They autographed a bunch of stuff for us as well.....Really decent down to earth guys they are also!!!

DelcoSol Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Mitch I must commend you on your reports. Always good pics and info. Being semi-local to me it is inspirational to see someone have some success when I have been struggling lately. I am going to hit the Conowingo dam on Saturday. Have you ever fished there before? PS: No sandwich? 1 Quote
Mitch G. Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks DelcoSol......I appreciate the nice words......I never fished there...too far south........good luck to you though.......the heavy rain may shut it down for a few days...if you don't get rains down south , you should do well...Depending on how heavy we get hit up NNJ, I am going to go out in the afternoon, if it's just a light rain.......from shore...and no sandwich when i fish from shore.....I eat before I go out for the morning whiuch holds me over....lol......thanks again!!!!....Happy Halloween and good luck tomorrow Quote
