among the guys I fish with down here, we have been saying something wrong for a couple of years;
we're seeing less and less schoolies in spots that should have large resident populations; at times there was a ton of bait, but no bass on them...

Chesapeake is the largest BD, I think you have it backwards in order.
Crack down on poaching/black market sale, and reduce recreational mortality, we still have a much bigger impact than commercial harvest.
whether it is a crash waiting to happen, or a change in the population distribution, something isn't right....
