Been seeing baby ales under my lights too. Plenty of shad in the creeks, though.

Not sure what is going on but have very little bait at the lights compared to the last 10 years. I even went to Captains quarters the other night at 3:45 to get bait threw for almost an hour then went back to bed because of the poor bait. I look back at the number of times I was out fishing over the years and what is going on now and there is a marked difference... I am throwing on 15 feet of water off my dock so water depth is not the issue. Looking at the water temps that is not the problem... Not a Happy Camper... Any thoughts... and yes it October..

Had the same happen yesterday we had been catching bait fairly easy the past month but i throwed the net until I couldn't anymore yesterday finally had 5 or six gizzards longest maybe 6 inches everything else might have been 3 inches long. We caught 1 and lost 1 on the longer baits, must not have wanted the tiny baits.

Tons of very good bait in the very backs of creeks while it's still dark. Like 1-5' of water. In the mud. One throw and done.
