I know it is nice to see blitzing fish but those fish are small. Not even worth putting on my damp waders for those. Very few large fish being caught. This is not a true "fall run". The real "fall run" is now in July and August for some reason. I don't know the reason. Perhaps these fish have a different DNA then the ones we caught 20 years ago.
This is the worst fall run of big bass I have ever seen. Honestly. I did better during the days when it was shut down. Really! I caugh more large fish (all released of course) when the bag limit was zero and they claimed sb are near dead then this past season. The mid summer fishing for bass was far better then then fall.

Frankly I gave up fishing for them now and went tog fishing and oystering....scallops next week. School bass don't get me excited, no matter how many there are. I see them swimming under my dock like baitfish now. Wake me when they are 20-40# blitzing like that. Honestly why even injure a small bass? Let them be.
