Surf fishing reports for October

[Sam]

I want my skate back! I fought him for at least 20 minutes before he broke the line.



Dave, I changed line on the reel. It works great, and seems to still have some swenson karma.







Beautiful morning again...

[Jay Blair]

Excellent catch and beautiful fish Sam. I especially like the second photo because it gives you a better idea of the size and scale of the fish.



I bet that one gave you some good pullage.



Congrats!



Some of the J.V. team will be down at AI the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of Nov.



Hope to see you then.

Fished AI Thur 3 am to noon got some kings, sand sharks and then my first Red Drum a real nice 44 in. sorry no pic forgot my camera :( that will teach me.

[Sam]

Awesome catch! I bet that was a surprise. Great job.

[Steve]

Fished top of ORV Wednesday afternoon and evening with Sam.

Surf break was about 2', sandbar 150' out. Not a bad looking hole between bar and shore. Wind SSW, hole moving north as the evening progressed.

Cow Nose caught. Moved below BP after dark. Water flat, shore break only. Cow Nose and Dogfish. No knock downs.

If the feesh are here, they're hiding. Used bunker slabs and heads. Might be some small Blues eating at the heads, didn't hook any.



Thanks for the company t-shirts Sam!

Fished south of the AMSFA tournament. Tough conditions, some fishy spots, held with 8. One small bluefish

[Sam]

We fished the tournament today. Tough fishing, folks. Strong NW winds and stinging rain right in the face. We all got soaked to the bone, even with rain gear. We caught several kings, blues, a short striper, a short flounder, some spot and no bigguns. A fella in the spot next to us caught a 38" Striper and another 28.5". It was exciting to see something nice caught, but that was early in the AM. We'll try again tomorrow and I'll have the tournament results. Sorry no pictures. Can't take pictures in the rain. :?

Very late report,,,fished thurs evening for 6 hours and caught skate, dogfish, and snappers,,,that cut I fished earlier before the big blow was gone,,,nice size hole tho.

[Critter Gitter]

Hey guys. Got my venison for another year so ready to join you on the beach. Have a few days vac left so hoping for some 3 day weekends next 3 weeks weather permitting. Seems best bite has always been end of first week to second Nov there abouts. There sure were some pretty striper holes last I was there. AI in November is special with fish and bird migration underway. Hunters hitting the beach before sun-up so helps not to oversleep.

[Sam]

Come on down!

[Coop]

Critter Gritter, It's time . Going to give it a go tomorrow before the big blow. I have a gut feeling about the east wind tomorrow,,,it's just a shame its blowing so hard off shore today.

I'm headed out to the beach. I will be just north of the ORV entrance on Assateague. As usual, anyone here is welcome to join me. I should be there from 6:30 - midnight. :wink: I've got plenty of bunker to go through (25 lbs or so)

[Coop]

Thats it !,,,I am going out too !,,,I was going to wait until Monday,,,too darn nice of a night not to go out,,,high tide @ 1:00am,,,I am outta here with rod in hand!

[Sam]

Heard another large red drum was caught off Assateague Island over the weekend! Incredible for sure!

[Sam]

I'm heading out tomorrow night for some striper action. As usual, if anyone would like to join me, I'll be on the North end of the ORV entrance.
