I agree regarding the fall being the best. The fish have all spring and summer to fatten up and are in prime shape prior to heading into spawning season.
If I only had one month to fish cutts in the salt, it would be November.
Crap weather, less people and great fishing.
Spring is fun when they are on the chum fry, but you also run into some snaky post spawn fish. I encountered some of those this past weekend.
No chum fry seen yet, but that should start happening very soon.
