I hear ya barking big dog

It's a good question... My answer is that I have been out toggin' off newport a bunch this fall (not as much as I'd like :-( ) and we have marked huge pods of bait, seen the gannets, dolphins etc... I think there are lots of herring around, maybe the bass just jeave a bit earlier... if you remeber BFT's were busting up herring nearshore last fall this time, lobstermen saw them within a few miles of newport, and I know they arent feeding on choggies... but I'm a dirt and rocks guy, not a biologist, so what do I know
