I landed this schoolie a couple of days ago. Their numbers have been on and off so far, but I am guessing it will all get more consistent in the coming days and weeks. |
It all tells me things are moving and changing.
After this storm moves on and the water clears I am guessing the albies will be gone or their numbers will be greatly reduced. I have never caught an albie nor seen an albie landed from shore in the month of November. We are almost there. I am guessing the albies will be replaced by stripers and blues. So far, the bass fishing has been inconsistent, and the blues have been just about non-existent. But, I am guessing this will all change soon. Last year our best fall month from shore here in RI was November, and I think it will play out that way again. There are massive numbers of schoolies and lots of bait to our north, and they will all be moving down soon.
The main area to fish in RI will also shift to the south shore beachfront from Matunuck to Westerly. I plan to start fishing that area seriously once we get into November.
