So between that an what we ran into cod fishing there have probably always been stripers out there. i even remeber some of the tuna guys talkin about it way back as a kid down at Galalee during the tuna tournaments.

I ask because that is often an argument put out there by many "the fish have all moved offshore" I always figured they were in both places but wanted an opinion other than my own.
