I dont think its time to pack it in but, the chances are rapidly going south,The migration definatly come off earlier than it once did.
Used to catch bass at block island into december.My friend got his 50lb bass there on december 1st at southwest point in 1985.Those days are gone,for now anyway.
I aggree there are a few mare schools of fish that may get pushed onto our shores,just make sure you are there when it comes! These fish arent hanging around! They are here one day and gone the next!! this time of year they are on the move! If they dont find the forage they want,they are outa here!!
I would say a better bet right now is the island and I would plant myself between old harbour point and cat rock cove!!
If we have heavy norwest winds,thats the spot to be,ditto for noreast!! The south side would be my second choice from snake hole west.Southwest point does not hold the fish it used too and that is because there is no where near the bait there used to be,the sand eels in the eighties were as big as pencils!!!
I hope that place gets back to what it once was!!
Joe flip and I had a night out there in the late fall once where we didnt catch anything UNDER 20LBS and most fish were in the high 30s,That was at dories cove,Little did we know that they had even bigger fish right down the beach at southwest that night!! We thought we did good,but they had loads of 40s plus there!! What a place that is!!
The island is however bait dependent and without that no fish!! you will just catch whats coming past.
You never even neede eels out there all you neede was a bag full of needlefish plugs and hold on!!!
Im going out there next week for two days and see what happens!! I have some friends there this weekend that are renting a house for the week at southwest (the round house for those of you that know it) I hope they call and tell me they are smokin them!!
