You guys are basing everything off last year. It would be far from the first time if there are sBFT here during the window they have allowed. 3 years ago (or 2 or 4, I can't remember) early September was the hot timeframe. The very best day though there was a tropical depression approaching and the seas were giant so like normal, no one knew it happened. Very few boats were bold enough to go out although if you were onshore in Jamestown you probably could have hooked one.

We also could get entirely screwed and not see one inside of 20 miles at any point this year. Food is the overiding factor. Temperature really doesn't mean much inshore, imo. Food is why they stayed when they came through last year.

I say get out there and enjoy it while and if it lasts, whether you can keep them or not. Despite what the magazines are saying it could be back to normal this year. Just a few fish for a few days or even worse nothing in the RI inshore scene at all.
