Last Thursday night I caught (1) 15lb striper and dropped two others the same size in the rocks adjacent to a breachway. Based on my trip last night I can comfirm they are not in CT. It was a beautiful night cold, light wind and a light surf but it was dead dead dead. The water was gin clear and I didn't see any bait or other signs of like for that matter. This has been the worst fall I have ever seen. We went from water that was too warm to water that is preatty darn cold in a week. Your going to get posts with the same old "the water is warm for this time of year so we should have big bass into December" well it never happens. The fall run happens in September and early October now and late October and early Novenber are hit and miss at best.

I'M DONE !!!!!!
