There was a push of very big fish with the hurricane and nor'easter back in September. With it went much of the bait I was seeing and it has yet to rebound. While I hold out hope for a late run of better fish locally, nothing is giving me reason to believe this will actually happen. Plenty of fish have already pushed down the south side of LI and into NJ, as well. It doesn't mean I am giving up, just that anything better than 30 pounds from here on out will be a bonus in my logbook.
