I think its the recent conditions that have made the fishing so good. The pre-storm action both weekends was fantastic. This weekend, the combination of the wind and tides created fantastic white water and there was tons of bait. The action lasted until at least 8am, solidly from @ 4am.
I can't say I caught a ton of bass, but I got a few as well as some blues, and both weekends I witnessed other guys catching lots of bass, some were good size too. For awhile, it was fish on every cast.
So, I think its the conditions, not the season or an early migration. There are always bass around, you just need good conditions to drive them up against the shore.
