I'm thinking that was just the "reports" that were spread around. It sounds good, and it's an easy excuse as to why most us are doing so poorly from shore. I'm real tired of fishing for 6 hours and catching 2 big blues and a twinkie bass. Admittedly I'm lazy and I don't like to leave Aquidneck Island, but it doesn't sound like there's any good reason to take a drive south anyways.
Also several of the boat guys I know (although they are only targeting BIG fish) didn't have that great a year.
I think most concerning at this point is the lack of big schools of 15" to 32" fish. Where are they? Of the fish I've heard about being caught in the past month or so as many have been over 20 pounds as under.
Hopefully I'm wrong and things are going to start happening around here in the next couple of weeks. Looks like the weather is going to be a bit unsettled mid-week, maybe a fall run will develop. Water temps have taken a serious tumble in the past week as well.
