Talk all you want about water temps and where they spend their winters.One thing we must understand is the big fish eat little fish,if there are no little fish good luck trying to catch big fish.Some parts of R.I. had lots of bait almost all year,other parts had squat.I managed to luck into some great fish last year but they were long and lean.Where is the beef?I'll tell you it's not on the bass without abundant pogie around.Two fish that should have been over fifty and lots that could have pushed forty.Even in the fall the bellies weren't there.
Fish your favorite spots and good luck to all this coming season.Learn where the big girls like to play and make some sacrifices and you can get lucky too.Sometimes you have to throw away the book on tides,pressure,wind direction and just fish.Try some new spots that haven't produced in the past.Last year I tried a spot countless times with no luck but it paid off in spades come September.
This year I would love to fish some nights with people I met from the board and others I have yet to meet.No secret spots,just some laughs and
and God willing ;tight lines.
