All fish will probably be off their feed right now after the blow we had.

Fished NPH yesterday morning. The spotties were active in the eel grass areas. I find that they bite well into the fall/winter. Less pressure out there for sure!

Glad they bite for you. I've found the consistency of the bite drops dramatically once the water drops below 62. Last year it hovered at 63 until March and Newport bit until then. Mission seems to go no matter the temp, as long as it's somewhat stable.
