On Maines biggest beach this morning.Saw two different schools busting on bait just outside the breakers.Didn't get any as they moved fast(I was on foot) and I couldn't keep up.But they're finally showing!

I was out tonight and the last couple of days. Went from a 12 lb bluefish to nothing. Tonight I was out at the Subnets and nothiung going on. On the shore of FF I saw some birds working close to shore, I went over and took a couple out of there then it died all the way back home.
I will be solo tomorrow so if anyone wants to join me let me know fast. It might be ok.

I was on the coast tonight and Monday. Man, bait is everywhere. Hopefully, it's shaping up to be a great fall run. I'm hitting Plum island this weekend. I'll report back.

Hit Plum Island north end briefly yesterday afternoon two hours before low ( 12:30 PM ). Five guys fishing; 3 spinning, 1 fly rod and 1 bait. Bait guy got 6 schoolies; others got zero. Water still dark from big rains. No sight of fish or birds.

Salter,

I was out with the family on Hills beach back in August. Found zero stripers, but lots of blues. As I was out tooling around in the kayak, massive fish were taking to the air, flying almost directly up. It wasn't a school, just a solitary fish now and then. Any idea what they were? Closest I was to one was about 100 yds, and it had to have been 4 feet long.

Grownfly It may have been a Sturgeon.
Anyway, dead again last night. No birds nothing. I was all around lower harbour. The big ol goose egg.
I am still wating for it to happen, we are usually into them great by now. No p-nuts either, the only siting was 2 weeks ago way up river inbetween Stratham and Newfields, haven't been down there since.

I've arranged an escape from the medico's for the first part of next week. Plan to head up to THE BEACH. What's the opinion, worth the 1 1/2 hr. dr? Having lived most of my life on the coast I know there are no Gaurentees. Just educated guesses.
