yup they will become ever thinner, however i have known some bass to fish ok
end of the year but you are always assured some doggies, they fight well but
taste like %^&*.
you might be lucky for a while with the pollock and whiting down south coast
too.

Being new to sea fishing, I'm wondering what we can hope to catch from
shore in the month of October (along the south coast in particular - Dover
/ Folkestone / Hythe area).

Am I right in thinking the mackerel will soon be gone for the year?
