Most, if not all, of my usual haunts were slow this fall. Ran into a pile of large fish (25-35# stuff) about one week ago in a place I haven't fished in 10 years and still on them. Prior to that, got a couple of single large fish (31# and 42#) between Labor Day and last week about this time, along with 5 or 6 skunkings. I would say if you are finding little success so far this fall to make some moves and cover some different spots. Don’t wait for them to show in your favorite place because it frequently doesn't happen like you hope it will. Just because there are fish north of us doesn't guarantee they will pass by here.
As much as people think its just beginning now, it’s really getting towards the end for Mass/RI. Small fish will be around until December in numbers, but for big numbers of large, I would say by early/mid November it’s mostly over in Mass/RI. Weather looks like its going to cooperate, so hit it hard for the next 2-3 weeks guys.
