Not getting anything to speak of Matt. Its been slow for me.
In my spare time I'm posting responses to various threads declaring the fishing is over for large numbers of large fish... 
Give it a couple more outings, don't throw it in just yet...guys(not me) are still getting some decent single fish here and there.I'll be coming out of retirement a couple more times this year...

Actually I might come down your way next week. I haven't fished gansett since last year. Kinda miss it. Got a bunch of fish late season there in the past. Think it was the night after Halloween a couple years ago. You know where on the dropping tide.  |

It was a dinkfest for me the other night in that 7 mile river to our south in the heavy wind. The small fish had invaded a hole I fish and were voracious. Just no size to the fish at all. Saw a guy cruise past under the light with a decent bass on his cruiser.
But, I think Backbeach is right. The majority of the bass have slid through already. You may find an isolated pocket of good fish that got delayed or hung up feeding on a good bait source on the way south, but you have to be there at the right place at the right time to intercept them.
I still have a couple trips in me before I hang it up. Probably one more ditch trip and a deep SoCo trip on the new moon.  |

A few years ago, the canal dried up about this time of year. After a week long lull, the place filled up with mackerel and fish for about one week. I think the last day I caught a fish was November 7, but it was slamzany on top for that whole week starting on Halloween.It was 20 smalls for every 20# fish though. Still a good way to end the year.

Mike, you need to turn your avatar into the grim reaper. you are on every site declaring its over!
Good reports, bad reports, whatever, I will keep fishing. I never catch squat when everyone is hammering them, why should I stop when no one is catching!

I'm also wrong most of the time. 
Case in point:
For every good outing I have there's countless skunks to balance things off. My predictive powers are minimal at best. 
Remember, I'm not saying its over. I'm saying the best is likely behind us for numbers of bigguns. |

Most of the large may be gone, but the very largest come through last.

Got blanked the past few night/mornings. Although I lost a very large fish this morning in the rocks in the manomet/ellisville area around 6am.
I am not ready to call it yet, but close.

In the Greek's book he calls them "late cruisers".
I remember just a few years ago there was a 60# fish taken in the canal right around halloween.
Stetzkos 73# fish was November 3, I believe. |

An old timer once told me this time of the year if you are willing to stand out on any of those rock jetties that dot the south cape from Chatham to Falmouth and freeze your you know what off you will be rewarded with a large fish but most get too cold and go too long without a bite to succeed in this endeavor.

Canal was beautiful last night. No rain and the light show was amazing in the eastern sky. A buddy and I only saw two other red lights along the shore in our 5 hr adventure.
Fishing was decent too. You gotta get out and try and you should still be rewarded around these parts for another week.
