The N-NE wind over the past week may be working to push bait out of the estuaries, drawing more predators in.
Bait = Fish.

Feeding activity is just heightened in many spots right now. Flap says its picking up on the outer cape, but it always does this time of year. Last week of august was usually prime time out there.Used to call it the "head fake."I always thought the first big slug of large in august was the stellwagen fish bunching up for the move. By mid september they(big fish) are moving though.The canal has been a dink fest for close to three weeks now. Is it because they are migrating? No, just staging, probably due to the abundance of bait. I think they are probably staging in many areas right now, but not migrating. I gotta hear from Crazy Al these markings he's looking at. Al, do the pin stripes mean they are yankee fans?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Amen!! You can tell Mike spent a lot of time on the Back Beach in August. Ballston was so hot in 96 and 97 in August. i had one night Aug 15, 1996 when I had 2 38's and 10 other fish over 30. The big fish stage at this time every year.

Hey Paul,
What's a stage bass look like? Just in case I catch one - I'd like to know if it looks any different than a migrant.
