I don't know what biologists would say but my view is that the main body of bigger stripers disappears leaving behind small bass and blues. In RI , the last fish I can expect to catch on the south shore (not at power plants or in rivers) in late November are monster size bluefish. One year we were catching Bluefish greater than 23 pounds the last Saturday in November along the strech from the Charlestown Breachway to the Quonny Breacway.
Just a tip , when there are few if any bass left along the south shore of RI but still bluefish , there are still nice bass off Montauk and Block Island.
