The signals are there. They are not nescesarily actually migrating but they are about or have started to eat better the last several days. First they start to eat then they eat some more and after that they eat again then in the period we like to call "Septober". In early "Nocember", they go. Things are definetly happening for the better, the natural signals are being heard by the fish. It's gonna be good for a while.

Why even try.........

August always feels like October on Aquidneck Island. Not so sure about everywhere else.

I've spent quite a few days cooking in the August daylight catching quality fish blitzing the shoreline. I've never quite figured it out, but I'm guessing it's always related to the arriving and growing peanuts. It will likely be better now then it will be in October around here.

The past few days (regardless of the fishing) have felt a bit fall like. Maybe we're all just sensing that?

I also think that the are heading north. The water temps off the cape are bouncing around, no way they heading south yet. Last friday the temps hit 71
to 73 ,, They moved off shore because the water was so high,Yup still heading north . It should be a great Oct

I have read that Bass a phototropic. Not sure of the spelling but I understand that they react more to the amount of daylight to trigger their migration than anything else.

I now consider you the Doctor of S-B.com. Great post and the most in-depth theory of the movement of Stripers yet. If your theory is correct, and there appears to be a concrete evidence that you are, then it explains why we have been into large since Friday here in Rohdy.
