I dont know where you get your information on the state of bass on the east coast but things are bad. Up and down the coast anglers can see the difference in their catches. There is just not the same amount of small bass up to twenty eight inches that there was say four years ago. Where do you think that the big bass that the recs commercials commercials covet . Look at what some of the big names are saying. I am paraphrasing but I recently saw Frank Dagnault and Cooper Gilkes write that they think the bass are in trouble. Does anyone remember the early eighties. I surffished every day Sept through Oct and got two bass (released). Why cant we act before the situation becomes a disaster no fish for the comms or recs. We must reduce the catch work on the polution in the Chesapeake and reduce the menhaden catch.
