Thanks Floater.  My rebuttal was not directed towards you.  Just looking at the wave forecast it looks like it won't be good until next week.  I enjoy this time of the year as well since there aren't any people out there to cause grief.

It's been the same scenario the past three years here at the  Spit for me. If I don't catch fish by the end of June to the  first week of July I end up with nothing till mid to late October. As in the past three years the bait has now showed up as well. Looks like the north shore is just not warming up enough over the summer to bring in the bait in July like we used to get. I didn't get out to 250 or even 300 fow the last two times out as all the hooks were in closer.

What were the depths you were fishing in?  How many FOW were you marking fish in?

Don't answer.  There will be 20 boats within 200 yards of you tomorrow.....I have been itching but likely going to just winterize it this weekend.  Good on you for being a trooper.

I don't fish out that way but thanks for taking your time to reply DH.  I just wanted to know whether I had to truck out to 250 FOW+ or if 150 would be adequate.

No worries answering. In the last two outings the only place I marked fish was at the Eastern Gap by the light house. I figured it was an outflow area from the warm water in the Don River.  Fish marks from 40 to 150 feet down. Good luck to all

I have a 2018 f-150 with the 5L coyote and a 10 speed transmission. I tow my 23’ wellcraft a little bit, mostly highway and get anywhere from 18L/100km-23L/100km. Boat weighs about 4000lbs. Unless I’m going up a hill, I can’t tell the boat is there and easily travel at 120km/h on the major highways.

You certainly are a Trooper, Floater, still flogging it at this time of year! Thanks for the report!

North Shore Reports / October 22 Spit

Went out again this morning in the pouring rain. Didn't start out so great. I tried passing the dredging barge on the right side as there was a Green Bouy on that side and I got stuck in one foot of water!! I tried pushing out the four thousand pound boat with a canoe paddle. Didn't work! I ended up putting both kicker and main 200 hp in reverse and full throttled them and out i popped!! As to fishing I got a nice rainbow and an 8 pound king right at the Eastern Gap again. These warm south winds brought in some warm water as well. Surface temps were 54 and down 40 feet I was marking 58. Some bait has moved in as well. Still a few days left to go!
