I can't believe the number of folks that are saying they are done for the year. The water temps in Newport are 55 degrees, and the bass don't leave until it hits 50. I have not seen a gannet diving on herring yet, during the most spectacular part of the run. Traditionally, it goes until Thanksgiving, and this year we are 2 or 3 weeks behind. If you have fished too hard, OK, pack it in. No knock on anyone, really. Dust off the gear, folks, the best is yet to come.

Hi Boys,

For you that say the best is yet to come...I agree 100%. Especially for the larger fish.

But this ol' boy's had a fun year and my Christmas Tree Farm has to be made ready for the season. Besides, every year AM temperatures in the 30's seem colder than the year before.

So for you all that are still fishing I wish you lots of action. Keep warm and be careful!

Al
