i agree, i do most of my fishing from shore around the fairhaven area and i got 1 keeper this year around the end of may. i mostly throw top water poppers and sometimes the pearl wild eye storm swimmers. i was getting quite a few smacks on top water in may not i get nothing top water. i have been getting real small stripers like 6-10 inch fish on the swimers.

now here is another theory that i have concaukted(sp?)

since there are so many menhaden around and since the moon has been so bright lately.. im thinking that the bass are filling up at night and just basking around during the day. but thats just my thought from what i have been seeing

also where are the blue fish. i have seen verry few in fairhaven area. they were chasing the menhaden but i havent seen the menhaden in close anymore

hope things get better!
