Ladies and gentlemen the fall fishing is in full swing. All reports are pointing to excellent fishing for blues, bass, and albies. Perhaps the best I’ve experienced, and the best is yet to come if my logs are correct. I have managed to get out myself a handful of times with excellent results over the last few weeks. The new moon provided excellent action as it usually does. I have heard tales of absolutely epic albie blitzes with the tunoids blizting over wide areas, although I have not witnessed this myself. Keeper size bass are there and ripe for the taking, as are chopper blues to keep the drag screaaming. The rivers are loaded with bunker like I haven’t seen before this time of year: both adult and juvenile bunker. Blitzes can be witnessed way upriver on some afternoons and mornings, and it isn’t even necessary to go far from the dock. I have yet to see that much bait move outside the river/harbor yet, the menhaden have generally been confined to the rivers/mouth of harbor. When those fish make their way out on their great migration, all hell is going to break loose. I just hope I’m there to capitalize. My guess is the next new moon in October 28th is going to be the ticket.
Tight lines homies!
