in the past the fish have been pretty much on time...following the herring in and hanging around till the herring leave. these fish were about on adv. 34-40"+. then they'd leave and go north..the adv. size after this were 34" or so for the month of june. come the first week of july the wall of much larger fish would come in and stay for the summer, till one day in the middle of fall they would just up and leave in the nite.....now these past few years the larger fish never showed inshore[27'- 34' of water] they were here but never left the 40'50' depth....a change from their normal travel...it was found that the amout of fish that came here didn't change,,but what did was their feeding habit's....they stayed where the larger bait was [sandeels in the 7" size].so the guy's that stayed close to shore and the beach guy's were grumpin about the lack of fish....they were there they just never came in.
now there will be a few cows taken from shore for the few lucky one's,,but I think you'll find mostly smaller fish in close because of the smaller bait that hug's the shore line....the old saying is ..find the big bait if you want big fish....
