I feel pretty optimistic about the state of the bass fishery, actually. For example, I saw more bass around West Island last week than I've ever seen in my life. Literally thousands of fish completely surrounding the island chasing peanut bunker all day long. No monsters, all 5 to 15 pounds, but the point is the numbers were staggering. I saw the same thing over there this past spring, along with bigger fish on bunker outside NB harbor. Dartmouth was loaded the last couple weeks, and I had a good time at the islands last month. Now that the albies are thinning I'm back in bass mode, and it looks like this will be a fall run to remember. In fact, it already is. An upward trend? Maybe, maybe not, but I've seen a healthy population of fish in my neck this year. Certainly better than last season. I'm gonna keep the positive attitude.
