SSX - The thing about RIGHT NOW is that there is a smorgasboard of fish and not as many people after them. More likely just the die hards as the amount of people start to put away their rods.
In the Bay, there are tons of bass & blues, with the bass tending to be smaller but still good size to be found. The bay will see fish hitting on smaller topwater poppers and the like and when the blues aren't immediately around, the bass will gorge themselves on smaller plastics nearing the size of all of the peanut bunker and silversides. Stuff like GS's stick baits, fluke, & split tails as well as other stuff like Queen Cocahoes, bass assasins, & Zoom Flukes. Tins like Kastmasters also work out well.
When you hit the beaches and ledges from the Cape to Wath Hill, the big ticket is live eels and plugs. Plugs like needlefish, darters, big swimmers are huge this time of year. Other artificials like youzuri minnows, that new Megabait swimmer, Mamo Minnows, Redfins, & bombers score well too.
The thing about the fall run is that the fish move thru and the weather can shut things down for days, even a week at a time. But when you are where the fish are, you can crank your arms til they fall off.
Also don't feel that you need to play catch up on the saltwater scene, you'll have years to work on it and don't spoil it by trying to cram a learning curve into one month (you'd go broke anyway, hehehe)
Have we met before?
