For a few years our crew used to finish the year with a charter trip out of harwich. The boat would steam way south of nantucket. Early to mid nov. We would hammer fish, plenty of big ones too. The captains belief was that most bass stayed offshore where all the big bait is. Hard to argue with his results.I think that only a very small fraction of fish ever swim within casting range, it is a big ocean that we only outline with fishermen. Trying to figure it all out gives me a popsicle headache.
