I talked to a friend in CT 2 days ago and asked him how the fishing was. He replied that he has not gotten a fish yet. This is not a guy who chases schoolies around with spinning gear, but he is an accomplished angler with many 50s over the rails. He has also won the OTW angler of the year from a boat multiple times and runs a charter business on the side. I suggested he look into fluke charters.

Chris, I agree with everything you stated. There are plenty of fish if you know where to look and how to fish. We have been getting our limit (4 fish) every trip. These are what I call keeper fish. My definition is 34" or more.
However, I have noticed that some of my "honey holes" are barren right now. Whether its water temp, bait, the cold spring or they just are not around anymore, I cannot say.
I'll have a better handle on the population in a couple of weeks. If my traditional holding spots don't light up, I will have to think that the general fish population is down.
The only bright spot I can relate is there was a worm hatch in Warwick Cove one day last week and there were millions of school fish on the worms.
