Stolen by the wind

It is one of the great ironies of fall fishing. Big Stripers are migrating through. Bunker schools remain plentiful, at least this year. However, the days are getting shorter, and you find yourself reaching for fleece gloves as you head out the door. These last few remaining weekends to fish before putting the boat to bed for the winter are precious. 

And then there's this.

The seasonal transition kicks up the winds, robbing you of already scarce opportunities to get out on the water. This fishing year's not done yet, but the end draws closer.
