I wonder if the lack of fair weather on the weekends will improve the fishing next season. IMHO the less fish caught from Maine to MD the more cows to grow big during our off season. In a given weekend I would imagine that up and down the coast thousands of lbs of striper out going to get another year. In theory let's assime that there is 200 fisherman out between boats and surf over each weekend. 1 in 4 (not including the studs and studettes of this board) catch a total of 30 lbs of fish. That equals 1,500 lbs of striper. For a totol of 6000lbs for October. Isn't this a nice postive spin on the poor conditions. :o
