In line with some of what you're saying.......there is TONS of bait out there. Not many predators however....seen plenty of schools of juvey blues.....where are the bigguns? Where are the Bass?...Bait will be gone before the leaves fall.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

It's been a long time since I've seen so much bait. Most of it seems to be very small. Peanuts, bay anchovies, and some smaller bait I can't ID. I've also seen the little harbor blues with not much else on the bait except the funny fish lately and some smallish bass.
Other areas there are lots of butterfish, macs, and juvi herring. Bass seem to be concentrated in confined areas and not spread out as many have been saying all year long.
Right now I'm only concentrating on these tunoids, but something is definitely 'off' and has been for quite some time when it comes to bass and blues.
Certain areas that I've fished ALWAYS held blues at dawn and dusk, but this year they just aren't there and weren't last year either even with mega bait around.

NICE ,those fish drove me nuts yesterday. Jim had at least 4 to the boat by the time I caught my first fish, but it was a seabass , figures.
I did land 4 albies and my very first ever spainish mac, also caught a monster scup so I got a Cape Cod Grand Slam of sorts off of mr. striper's boat.

you wore me out, I'm feeling my age today

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
