Nobody thinks that warmer water temps, lack of bait, and increased predation (seal and human) has anything to do with where bass stay??? Why would a fish forge on crabs and small scup when all they have to do is follow plentiful offshore bait in deep water with a comfortable temp??? Less effort for more food maybe? Pogies are no longer a reliable inshore food source. Would you bet your life on a food source that may not be around. Or maybe because you "old farts" are not doing as well as years ago the species must be decimated. Perhaps the bass are adapting to what best suits them and not shore fisherman? Don't let pride cloud your judgement.
