With this weather, the vegetation is just hanging on and dying very slowly. They cut the boats early because of the lack of people coming out during the week. I don't think at the time anyone was expecting weather in the 80s on Halloween. I know Ted would have liked to have them into November but he has to pay the bills too. So far this fall, bank fishing has sucked. The fish seem a bit confused with the water temp and are still holding very tight to cover. Makes it very tough from the bank unless you are willing to lose a lot of tackle.
