To answer your question, yes.
Like they said move around, look for bait.
This time of year you can just drive down any road and park.
Try some chunking or metal baits during day time.
Their were some huge blues all along your area a few weeks back and I was told yesterday that "the fall run is late" soooo you never know.
The water is still active and bass are around.
Hit some bait shops and ask!!

Sesuit was loaded with small bass not long ago, loaded with bait too...

Check the estuaries around the area. They always hold late.

best way to find out is to take a look in the water to see what bait is there. then try to match it

OLD GOAT · 11-19-2007, 02:15 PM

go to a local bait store and toss out a line and sit in your car and read a book

stars'nstripers · 11-19-2007, 06:04 PM

Sn'S -

Get out there and fish....Enjoy IT.....

JohnR · 11-20-2007, 09:11 AM

SNS - what people are trying to say is that they can literally be anywhere and everywhere - these fish are speedily moving along and you really just need to go and see...

In your area go to the beaches, River mouths and look for the fish. Try the smaller storm shad lures or metals like Point Judes or Kastmasters

Flaptail · 11-20-2007, 09:14 AM

What most people don't realize is that there are a lot of fish still to be caught and nightime, though cold, still outfishes the daylight right now.

Use the info the others posted and think darkness. That's all I can tell you.

cardnial77 · 11-20-2007, 01:25 PM

does this thread not remind you of the ones you posted this summer. basically, you need to put in the time to learn the areas you fish. which means go fish them, look, listen, smell. you will learn far more by fishing than you will by posting on a website.
