Yep, that is why I do almost all my cutt fishing in the south sound or on the canal.
I’ve caught nice cutts in the north sound, but it can be pretty barren once the early entry fish leave the salt. There are always later entry fish available year round. November followed by October and December would be my favorite months down south when the fish are in prime shape prior to spawning.
Not many post spawn fish around so far this year, at least where I like to fish. Perhaps peak spawning hasn’t occurred yet as it does vary year to year. Some years you see a good number of post spawn fish as early as late January.
