There also seems to be poor amounts of other migratory baitfish like herring an Makeral.Last yrs mac run along with this springs was pretty dismal.These are the long haul migratory fish that lead the bass on their way north every spring...

Ding, ding, ding---we have a winner
I've said for years--if you don't have herring to get the bass into the Canal in May, and dropbacks to keep them around in June, the fishing will be hit or miss until the fall.
What keeps the Canal going these days is small bait--herring fry, peanuts, maybe some sand eels at the east end, silversides in the west end. All late summer baits.
