they are really starting to thin out now,with small and medium hounds allmost gone,I find that a few specimen sizes tend to
linger a while yet , probably wont last another week or two. :(

Yes they will, I've had specimens into the second week of October & had several fish per session up until the end of September.

If the fish have gone thin on the ground, it's probably because there is not a great crab moult on as opposed to the fish moving on because it's got too cold. A few of the lads have had them into December when cod fishing in Ennerielly, although to be fair, that is fairly flukey.
