Wish I could say so :) But I haven't been since last week, when it was hot and calm and I managed a whopping 13 incher for fishing a good 8 hours. Remember what I said on the main page Sept 29

"Late September through October can be two of the toughest months of the entire year. Weather can fluctuate rapidly from 90 degree days to 50 degree nights. Large temperature variation from night to day has often proven to be a tough condition for me. In this transition period, storms and bad weather can actually have a very negative affect on the bass. When daytime temps go from 90 down to mid 60's, bass just don't seem to react well. This is the time of year when water temperatures will also begin to drop, and a spell of cold weather can cause them to drop rapidly. During times of change like this, my experience has been that fishing can be very hit or miss."

I did catch a nice 10.15lb fish a few weeks ago in my kickboat during stable weather on the Huddleston Deluxe. More I cannot say, but be patient, a month or two from now the real winter will come :)
