Staging Period ..
 

Dead as a doornail the last 2 weeks,,not counting a few schoolys ..Another member eluded to a staging period . I believe its a time bass are preocupied with shcooling up .. somewhere/not where I am . I'm not sure how much this varies up the coast,but in my area its the same period of time every year . If true to years past,the bite will start sometime during the next new moon and will not stop until there gone ..

calm before the storm........:btu:

I think if you find them they are looking to feed heavily. I don`t think they stop feeding.

next week will be good (that's what I keep telling myself)

I think that the place we have been getting them, southern CC Bay area, the last several days is a staging spot for fish that have come down from the north of this spot. I feel the local fish, what there was of them, went thru the canal 2 weeks ago. Every year they seem to come to this spot around this time with a little help from the wind direction, although this year has better than some. It is winding down as of today but they had anything but lockjaw. P.

Staging yes, lock jaw no

next question .. is the staging area very far off shore ? Boat ?

They sure seem to disapeer for a couple of weeks in the river.
