Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating - View Single Post - Surf Fishing has slowed nearly everywhere

I called several of my buds around RI, cape and islands and even LI last night and surf fishing ranged to dead to a slow pick of small fish to feeding rat blues expensive bait. (Boat fishing was OK...not gangbusters but OK) This is disturbing. I doubt it could be over YET. The water temp has been falling fast and the weather has been lets-say somewhat non-condusive to fishing lately. I actually stayed home last night to watch "Fish-On" instead of actually going fishing myself! I plan to go tonight for a few hours but I will just cherry pick a couple places on the tides and come home until it picks up. I hope November is better.
