Jeff,
Assateague's fall seasons(and this is pure surf casting in somewhat heavy
surf) run as follows:

Sept-Mid October--Larger red drum(up to 40 lbs or more), big bluefish and
occaisional larger sharks

Mid October-December--Stripers of all sizes, many over 3 feet long. Still a
few blues about.

Boat anglers around the mouth of the bay clean up on stripers from late
November thru March. I don't do that much at all, as I'm not a great boat
person(will do it, with much beer and dramamine, but.....).As for humbling
you, I doubt it, but have absolutely no doubt that we could have a hell of a
time and eat some fine seafood, to boot!
