This is my first year fishing for stripers so I can't really comment based upon experience - but from what i've read - something doesnt seem right.
Everything i've seen talks about the fall migration having a strong correlation with the angle of the sun and daylight hours. (yes water temp also is a critical factor - and sustained northerlies / westerlies can push bait offshore) If the sun angle theory is true it there shouldnt be too much variation in the timing of the migration. From what I've read - we should have expected the bulk of the fish to be passing thru RI waters weeks ago -
So are the fish in full migration but just out of reach of shore / near-shore anglers? Are they truly late - and currently more north / east of RI? I know there are no real answers to these questions but I'd love to hear your thoughts
Thanks
Dave
