I'm sure this varies yearly, but would what would be biting in the Port A area in early Dec? I'm talking jetty are surf fishing.

It never drops off. Fish change their zip code but never stop.

Yes pat and the jetties is a low zipcode that time of year. LOL. Some of the best fishing is available Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March, and April. Fish are fatter and typically bigger over all. Still a low chance of a Bull red at the jetties. In the right places in Port A near the jetties the flounder should still be running as well.

The biggest misconception EVER is we want a fish to think like we do.
Fish don't get cold. Or hot or anything, they are whatever temperature their surroundings are. Big fish eat little fish, and their entire life is based on that fact. When the bait moves the gamefish move.

Slow fish, looking for a big meal, in a bay with less bait then summertime. Adds up to a chance to catch a monster trout. My favorite time to fish the bay Nov-Feb.

No.
Maybe in a few years.
I’m a little hard core for most guide customers.
Never use bait
Scooter isn’t much on creature comfort.
