The Florida guys are year-round except maybe for Ohara, who doesn't seem to care for the summer heat. But maybe others shy away from boating in that heat too. I'm not sure about Georgia or the Carolinas. All this may be useful to me in deciding where to move to, if that ever happens. Even though I won't move there, might be interesting to hear from the West Coast guys too. Ever notice how the West Coast is almost like a different country? Time difference I think. They are the manliest of boaters, what with those big seas, but you don't hear much from them. --Vic The fall striper season will go into November. Now, that's not to say that I'm brave enough to get out on the bay then! Sea conditions or temperatures? I kind of enjoy boating on nippy days. Different sky, and that coffee/hot chocolate sure hits the spot. One trip I made to Ontario was in October, and most of time we were fishing it was snowing. Light stuff. Made the campfire at shore lunch especially enjoyable. But the water was flat. Fish were slow, but I got a nice Northern jigging with my ultra-light in about 30' of water. We flew into a lake one day for some Lake Trout that trip, and got skunked except for one I snagged with a Lazy Ike. It was windy, and the water was rough. Miserable trip. But if it's calm, I've got no problem fishing in the cold. Make me feel manly. Until I start sniffling. Then I just feel stupid. --Vic Not temperature, but sea conditions. My boat is an 18'er, and in November there are many more windy days on the bay than in July. Plus, when it's windy, the center console provides no relief. Hell, that's the time to start eating some of the fish the local Giant has to offer. Some folks will brag about fishing 'til Thanksgiving, but they're usually known to be braggarts. And they log 25 hours a *year*. |
