Fall in New England is a special time for me. It marks the end of my surfcasting and the beginning of my troutfishing. I have been doing a few morning trips where I surfcast in the dark and then switch to a tenkara rod when the lights turn on and hit the local rivers. Pretty neat and I am fortunate to be able to fish two dramatically different fisheries withing 20 minutes of each other. I really enjoy the dramatic contrasts between the two fisheries. The needlefish lure that I use for Striped bass is longer than most trout I target. The striped bass is about 46". A real beast. ![PB010735](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b4a80617ed9b7d5779ee4ae988b6e28a2cd8c16f.jpg) I suppose I may be labeled a weirdo for leaving that bite I had that morning. I had several large fish and they were actively feeding. I left the fish biting to go and see if I could catch some wild brookies and browns, most of which are 6-8". ![PA280727](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2e7fbee5c64a511143b3c845232ba4b33950a602.jpg) ![PB050736](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cca26c1ecee1947def847e0f910d26579b76e936.jpg) ![PB050742](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/533ccde5c7f0640f6b18530167ec6c2ec1e535d7.jpg) ![PA280715](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/37d2343963a14915e09102ee86d0eeea3ed4247a.jpg) ![PA280730](https://10colorstenkara.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2145ae89bd92bccc65aca577c4dcbb1837d42f83.jpg) ---
