I just would like to know without sounding stuck up...have you guys really not caught any fish in the last ten years? Have you seen a problem that is fish number related or bait related? I would testify more bait related...I will gladly take any of you who do not get offshore much, starting in may and show you schools of bass with no less than 500 to 1000 fish in each school, that you can see for miles from cape cod bay all the way to the northwest corner....the fish are fine, they have changed their patterns because of lack of food on the beach, they used to follow the herring...well as we all know the runs are not what they used to be...so they in turn follow the squid and mackerel and sand eels...where are they? offshore...sad but true..the eez(which I don't fish) is full of healthy spawing big female bass and they are there all summer from PH to the bank and east and lets not get started bout the rips off Nantucket and crab ledge...the BB Buoy the fish are fine we just need to stop the herring boats and manage the dogfish to heathy levels....Doug
