All of this talk of the low stock of striped bass....where???
I know I'm young (age 32) but I've seen the stock as a kid in the 80s go from absolutely nothing sitting there for hours on end with my dad to the biggest bonanza we've ever seen this year. My old man says this is nothing he's ever seen before. From our perspective in Cape Cod bay, we have never seen more striped bass from Green Harbor to Duxbury to Provincetown to Stellwagen. Big bass, small bass, medium bass.
Yesterday we were on a blitz of stripers in f'ing JULY that went from the Gurnet to Green Harbor. It looked like the end of september.
Stellwagen, you can walk on 30 lb bass. They are a nuisance. My $6 pogies got massacred Saturday. Even the tuna were getting annoyed.
All of this talk about low stocks... come to Cape Cod Bay. Maybe this is our year.
