Do you think they will show up in these areas.Most people I talk to along the beaches think its far from over im up in the air about it ,kinda think its just dinks the rest of the way wich I am getting except today. What do you guys think?

If you've been fishing everyday waiting to see something that hasn't come...that might just tell you something

From here on out it's a crap shoot.

I'd say you'll see them w/i the next week. There was a push up these parts (just north of canal), sometimes they were close to shore other times just out of casting range. Lots & lots of diving birds. By this time, who knows how far south they've travelled......

First chance to fish in November will be Sunday 11/25, lot's of travel. Winds and tides look pretty good in SOCO so I plan to put a few miles on the fishmobile. Looking for fish but will settle for being in the fresh air getting some exercise and having a shot at some fish.

I talked to somebody this morning in the mitz of a small bass and big shad blitz that said the herring are still in the gulf of Maine, and still tons of small bunker around far from over I guess.

NO GO, SoCo

Saturday dawn patrol, hit every spot except Matunuck Deep Hole
and West Wall. Lots of surfcasters out and big pods of juvenile herring hugging the beach unmolested by fish or bird or man. Birds
breaking on pods two hundred yards out. Few twinkies taken.
Big, last push is coming.

6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Watch Hill to Narragansett. As you say lots of bait right at beach (hooked plenty of peanuts on my bucktail). Saw birds crash the pods, but not fish, except for what appeard to be big tuna crushing pait 1/2 mile or so off Narragansett Pier.

Saw about 6 schoolies caught at various beaches. But it was a gorgeous day.

Went out with my youngest this afternoon from 130 - 330pm from Charlestown up to Pt Judith. Nothing going on worth mentioning. Then dropped by the SWE to browse and picked up a couple items that seem to be hard to find around me locally (Super Strike Floaters). Nice day regardless.....

Same to report - went out yesterday pm to get to know a new rod/reel setup (Tsunami Airwave 10' with a Shimano Baitrunner 4500 and 30lb Fireline crystal), saw lots of birds (gulls and a few gannetts) working along the Avenues - and saw some big fish breaking the surface (that I now realise were tuna). Lost a schoolie there, but got one later in Matunuck. Was glad not to get a skunk on the first time out with that rig!!

Superstitious, moi? I am a fisherman, after all....

Out again today in Matunuck this pm, there were a lot of birds all over (gulls), and LOTS of bait - I had to give up using lures with trebles as they were snagging peanuts on every cast. It was only marginally better with single hook lures. Only got one hit despite all of the bait, another schoolie that was kind enough to clear the skunk.

Other than that, no sign of gamefish working the bait at all. Still, lovely afternoon, and the stiff SW wind was pretty bracing
