Its gonna be a matter of someone in the right place , right time at this point..Somewhere, someone is saying its a great fall...Face up to it , the fish just didnt come to the rhody shores in big numbers this fall at all (Large fish), October is just about over... Either get that cow by the 10th of November or have fun with the dinks because the truth is ....Yup, its almost over..This same stuff goes on with the arivals in the spring?? Sooner or later you have to face the music, it is what it is and its just about Nov. folks.....the end is here.Its 14 days and finished...............

I agree with you guys for the most part, but I think back to a few years ago where Montauk had week long blitzes of huge bass running through in December, snowstorm blitzes on BI in late November, etc.
Not likely, but w/ this weather maybe it could happen
I know I wont be mentally ready to hang it up in mid-November

Not the worst for me in numbers of fish but as far as numbers of large fish it really sucks. I don't want to call it yet but it's getting tougher and tougher to get out there. I was out last night and got skunked. Tough wind and very rough water. I keep watching these posts too see how everyone else is doing. It's still going on so I must and will keep at it!

Yeah I wont hang it up till mid-month, and even then I'll still go out on nice nights until at least turkey Day.

Those spots are not the mainland of rhody...BI may as well be another world....12 miles off the coast is a long way...The other thing that happens is after awhile ...who cares?? the season has been long and tireng and one more fish wont make or break it..

Yup, very true.
I was just thinking of my own situation, where Ill be fishing mid Connecticut late season.
I figure those fish are funneled in, and the bait is either on LI or on the CT side, moving out of our large river systems.
If there are some large moving down the coast, they're either going on the ocean side of LI or through LIS, where theres a good shot of CT guys getting into them.

Besides, Im not tired of fishing yet, the thought of a few more good sized fish out there still gets me excited

Since the winds of fall began blowing cold from the NW, the birds and bait sightings have fallen off quite a bit. Saltyric let a nice 36" fish go right next to me last week, but been small fish for the most part this week. Best day from shore was Oct 1, four real good fish, Big sloppy surf, just before the OTW party. Nothing close since then..... Hoping to get out locally this weekend without freezing my tail off. Then will have to be looking to make a roadtrip.

Actually, many years it is a single late hard earned bass that makes a season for me.
