Fall Fishing

[Gerry Zagorski]

My favorite thing about fall fishing is _____________

[Gerry Zagorski]

The variety of fish we have inshore, my favorite being Blackfish and nice crisp days with bluebird skies. Oh and not sweating to death :cool:

Finding a reason not to rake leaves.

Fat Alberts & Stripers on topwater.

Used to be tuna time, last few years I have barely thought about em. Long
Time ago fall was big blues on bait! False allies and variety of bottom dwellers sometimes all
On same trip. Now the seasons and limits really suck! It is sad really
😂😂

Sunrises while throwing plugs on the surf.

Catching, tagging and releasing windowpane flounder.

Bird life with big blues and stripers but that doesn’t happen anymore

Casting 005's to schools of Albies. Anchoring up and catching Blackfish, Porgy's and Triggers. Drifting clam in 80ft of water for Sea Bass. Striped Bass and Bluefish run and catching them on 027's and bucktails. Seeing pods of Bluefins race by and casting topwaters at them with the hopes of connecting before they disappear. Less boat traffic. Clean brisk air!

Catch one of the 140 that I tagged in NJ. Only one was recaptured while 3 of the 28 fluke that I tagged in Manasquan Inlet last year were recaptured this year.

I went through a lot of tags this year, almost exclusively on seabass and fluke. I did get one back in August this year from a fluke I tagged in July. It had moved 5 miles offshore from where I tagged it. Your windowpanes and some of the fluke are scooped up by draggers and the tags are never returned. Although I've had a few tags returned from a couple of netters from ( You guessed it) Hudson Canyon.

Back on topic.........Leaving the dock on those crispy, cold predawn mornings, searching for tell-tale canopies of birds over schools of hungry bass and breaking out the jigs.

A 50-degree day in late November with just enough breeze to set the anchor nicely over a prime spot, 20-foot visibility water, family fishermen aboard and hungry blackfish below.

Always a good fall song.

You’re right. My only windowpane flounder fish tag return was from a NMFS observer on a scallop boat.

Running and Gunning after false albies
A quieter launch ramp
Last shot at some big blues/stripers before the long cold winter sets in
