I heard stories of massive schools of pogies "up the river" in RI this year and armfuls of bass being taken
I have also heard that the holdover population seems to have grown in that state's capital, and am actually hesitant to mention it here. I have to wonder if our favorite fish has begun to choose a legitimate new fishery? Stripers up the river are nothing new, I realize, but there did seem to be a lot of chatter about it this year. There was also a lot of chatter about fish not being where they had been in years past. Indeed the weather is not accomodating this time of year, but how are things up the Hudson right now? I wonder what measures could be taken to protect it, should the river actually become a growing fishery. I do not know enough about striped bass science to really say that I might be on to something, but I wonder just the same.
Maybe it's nothing...
