I've changed my thinking over the years, somewhat. Something to eat IMO is BY FAR the single most important motivation to a fish of almost any species. I've really let go of water temps and the calander. The X-mas Eve blitz a few years back in town here was not resident fish, it was bass in cold water that had something to eat.
Looking South from Newport this morning there are no birds anywhere, whether they are working bait or just hanging out waiting. That to me is a bad sign. The most important thing to a bird is food. If there are fish coming my way there is no indication that there will be anything to eat when they arrive.
