Some Decent Ones but NO Big Uptick in Fall Fishing

My best fish in this rainy spell has been a 
chunky 24 lb. common. There has been no big 
uptick in fall fishing yet.  Just not cold enough.

 I fished the last three days of rain, and came away with only two fish. This was not what I was expecting since rainy events have lit up the fishing in past years for me at this time. Still, those two fish I landed were 23 and 24 lbs., really good size by RI standards.

I think the weather has just not been cold enough to get a fall feed going. The weather is so warm I saw a snapping turtle pop its head up in front of me today....highly unusual for late October. In past years, that last week in October and the first week of November have delivered some big fish for me (high 20's and 30's). But, so far, this has not happened.  I'm confident that the fall feed as I call it is a bit late this year due to warm weather. 

My October numbers have bee low this year compared to past years.  The sizes have also been a disappointment.  Hopefully, fishing improves in the coming weeks.
