Its far from over?? Were you fishing 15 years ago? remember those fall runs? well if you were you would know what I am saying. Fishing was extremely consistant for big bass right until december, not this 25lb fish here and there stuff, The Island had cows in december, those are the falls I remember and if you compare them with the last few they dont come close, I would like tyo know everyones opinion on where the bass are now, its november 8th-they have not moved yet? Thats good news, when do you estimate the migration hitting south county?? The bass that are there now and being caught are fish that have been there all summer and are now coming in from the depths to feed.

If its far from over, I would just like to know why you think that and where the bass are in your opinion that are coming in soon........

Boat guys are killing the fish in 60 foot of water off the south side of block, I call that bad news, they are streaming by. The ponds have winterover over fish but when will the migration start please fill me in, I dont want to miss it.

I will say this, its closer to over than being far from it

I think this is what is happening --- the Fall Run is running by in deeper water because that is where the bait is...

When the water hits 35 degrees its over

Its a long way from over. The water hasnt even hit cow temperature yet

But all you anxious folks go ahead and pack it in, go by water temps, not by months fish cant read calendars

no, but they can tell by the angle of the sun that winter is aproaching.

Heres my synapsis of the 'fall run' There is no Fall Run. there is a migration going on, but there is so little bait around that the bass dont bunch up on the bait. They arent schooling on top, there are no birds working... its absolutely dead here in RI...

Its not over, its just not here. Its out there.

i havnet even seen any gannetts yet.

I agree Nebe.

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.

The Fall run is over? When did it start? A few decent fish moved into SoCo during the last week of September and the first week of October - chasing big schools of mullet. That stretch of rain and storms blew out all the bait and fishing has been extremely spotty since then. I don't think all this N/NW we've seen over the past few weeks has helped either. Fish over 20lbs are around, but there aren't a lot of them and the window of opportunity is quick. Even the bluefish numbers are way down. No bait = no bass. If the fishing on Block sucks that spells trouble for SoCo.
