All the bass I have caught this fall look like they are on the south beach diet
They are empty. Look to be starving. 
Lets hope they put the feed bag on soon. |

I caught 40 Bass this morning between 3 and 6AM. 24" to 37" and so full of Mullet they were throwing them up. Every fish was FAT. It all depends where you are. If there is bait, there are fat fish.

Wow - guess he told you...
I hear that Mullets are generally common to NJ 
Sandman - I'm seeing both skinny and fat but as I'm not getting out much I'm not seeing much of either. Regardless, there are tooo many bluefish around right now... |

I have seen both extremes also. Most recently been fishing down the Canal every day this week b4 work. Catching fish all week which are extremely aggressive but all are very skinny and not puking anything up.
Today, most fish had bellies and some were puking up squid & peanut bunker. Not sure how to explain it but as you said, hopefully the feed is on......

I have not seen a mullet in NE in 20 years. They use to come here. Pogies are headed towards the same fate.

Mugil Cephalus-Common Mullet, Striped Mullet, Jumping Mullet...
Like warm water, bottom feeders but are often seen swimming at the surface which gives the water a wavering wake. September is the month where you will find them in large numbers(not as large as yrs past).Four to Five inches are there typical size. Blue and white are the preferred lure colors.Find the mullet and you will find the large!
