Being the contrarian that I AM... I'm not a big believer in the fall run... I've seen too many fizzle or be a total bust,too often we are plauged with unfishable seas, fish that migrate out to sea, and winter comes just too fast..yes there are fish to be had but nothing like the summer and spring.. the only bonus is the solotude, on those nights when I can fish, i am alone, and often the fishing is good, but at PI, the consistant fishing is over by the second week of October, yes there will be Spurts ( I've taken cow bass the week of thanksgiving) but fishing 9 hours freezing my *&^ off for two or three fish is just not fun... not after 5 months of it, I long ago gave up the chase south, I've caught enough big bass to carry me through for another season.. so for me, the September full moon will be key... with a little luck, I can work the beach fronts and rock piles without being set up high and dry or getting dashed to death on the rocks....IT'S NOW PLUGGING TIME... I'll use plugs almost exclusivly( unless the fishing is poor) for the rest of the season...
