I have been fishing hard on the outer cape, and i've been the only one out there except for a few bass in the 20lb class. The past few days have produced more tiny fish (west wall size), than keepers. This past week not one fish came on eels they all came on my favorite plug. My buddy dave recomended a new pattern for me to try, and it caught 3 to 1 from the usual straight black. Black caught all small fish and the other pattern caught smalls and keepers. Any how, were at the end of october and the outer beaches are loaded with tiny bass, does that mean the chances of a 50lb'er have came and went or am I in for another big push. Some people say small first then large last, but what I saw was large first then small last. The other thing is the water temp has sharply decreased by about 6 degrees in the past week. Biologically speeking smaller fish can handle colder temps better than larger ones due to the physiological science of body size and lengths of circulatory system.
What do you think?
p.s. sorry for the west wall comment, but I couldn't hold it in
