I know it is nice to see blitzing fish but those fish are small. Not even worth putting on my damp waders for those. Very few large fish being caught. This is not a true "fall run". The real "fall run" is now in July and August for some reason. I don't know the reason. Perhaps these fish have a different DNA then the ones we caught 20 years ago.
This is the worst fall run of big bass I have ever seen. Honestly. I did better during the days when it was shut down. Really! I caugh more large fish (all released of course) when the bag limit was zero and they claimed sb are near dead then this past season. The mid summer fishing for bass was far better then then fall.
Frankly I gave up fishing for them now and went tog fishing and oystering....scallops next week. School bass don't get me excited, no matter how many there are. I see them swimming under my dock like baitfish now. Wake me when they are 20-40# blitzing like that. Honestly why even injure a small bass? Let them be.

I'll second the above July/Aug rocked for us. ... A slow pick since then.

Second that. Gotta be good size fish to call it a true blitz. Small fish are always available in large numbers. Its cool in the spring when shaking out the cobwebs, but now it gets old real quick. Its been spotty for large this fall, but they are available if you keep at it. |

I think you can catch schoolie bass and have lots of fun. I was out the other day and got to try out my fly rod, granted the largest fish I got was probably only 24 inches long but with a fly and bent down barb it hardly hurts the bass and was lots of fun!
Also I thought the fishing was slow too I had to get off the vineyard to really get into it I bet they will be swimming by your neck of the woods soon  |

[QUOTE=Mr. Sandman;427108] I don't know the reason. Perhaps these fish have a different DNA then the ones we caught 20 years ago.
May be some truth to that statement as far as the origin of the fish goes, and their habits. Might be a good topic for mid winter. Would definitely like to know the breakdown of where all of our fish come from now versus the past. The fish Tattobob is getting might be very close to their winter home right now for all I, or anyone else knows. I know the big cape fish used to be considered of chesapeake origin, and once those year classes(1970-1980) disappeared, so did the summer resident cape fish.
