What Paul said...
And Clammer...and Sauerkraut...and Larry and just about everyone else...
More effort for fewer fish...there's a lot of talent here and I can't believe the "I stink" reasoning from good surfmen...it's not conincidence...
Yeah, Paul, I remember the '80's, plugging up a 15" bass at 2nd Beach and I couldn't have been more surprised if I'd just caught a bonefish
If it wasn't for massive schools of bluefish by the acre there would have been NO fish at all - nada, none
It reminds me more than anything of the crash in the late 1800's that caused all the great bass to clubs to close which was caused by industrial pollution and overfishing - written club records from that period that I've seen show a similar pattern of a crash over a period of time and IMHO it's looking familiar
Look at the opinions of all the guys on S-B and their accumulated experience covering a large portion of the New England coastline
This time you have to point to overfishing, the reduction fishery on pogies ( and no, I
don't mean Ark Bait) and runoff from lawn chemicals and all the other crap being used on waterfront properties that ends up in the Bay
I can't see 2 at 28"...
...it's #*&$# absurd, 1 at 36" seems prudent at this point
Rant over - I'm going out for blackfish
At least the buggers aren't pretty enough to be paraded around for photo ops...
