No matter how much bait is in the bay keep in mind that comparitively speaking it is rather shallow over all. If the temps aren't right the bunker won't make the turn in and neither will the bass. I didn't think the salinity was too much of a cause but I think the overall temp was not conducive to having them make the turn. That said southpond caught 20 and 30# fish hand over fist for a month straight. I mean sure you can find fish in the bay its relatively small you do the whole bay in a boat and not burn a ton of gas. But its that hide and seek approach. Check the cove find the bait find the fish. Check the cove no fish move on, check a cove move on. They were there but I think we had a lot of bypass due to temps that just did not draw the larger shoals of fish in. We took abou an average of 100+#'s of squid lst weekend on jigs... Where are the bass?... Gone they bypassed.. Tuna guys are out in stellwagen with 12 macks and getting 11 slob bass and 1 hardtail for their efforts.. They move.. They adapt...they have fins...
