I hesitate to post on these threads since most of you will forget more than I'll ever know about bass, but I have a therory to propose. The lack of schoolies in RI seems to be a concern and one that most agree on. If you analyze the posts on this thread and other reports from this year, here is what I see and if you focus purely on the data, I think its obvious.
Fact - More bluefish that ever in Narr. Bay
Fact - They showed up very early and have not left.
Fact - Flap says there are plenty of schoolies where he fishes
Fact - Flap says he only caught 4 bluefish this year.
See where I am going with this? Lots of bluefish, no schoolies, lack of bluefish, schoolies present. We all know bluefish eat anything and at the least harass any fish smaller than them. Could it be that the mass iflux of blues has pushed the schoolies North to avoid the bluefish?
