I always thought it was more related to the water temp than anything.

I have heard that the jumps last way up into November, but you have to travel up into the creeks to find these by then. From what I know, October the fish could be on the bottom, could be feeding on top or anywhere in between. I don't have down riggers but pull boards and set them out to the depth that I find the shad to a bit above the shad. Good Luck, I am still waiting when all 5 of my rods go down at once. Had a three bagger on one time and that was enough being by myself but never the 5 bagger.
