I would have agreed with your original statement if the year were 2005. There are still isolated concentrations of quality fish available for competent boat anglers. These pockets of fish are becoming more of a rarity. Newport had a good year and they also did well outside Boston harbor. Block Island is essentially the OK corral. Twenty years ago you could do damage just about anywhere on the coast. The standard of what constitutes a trophy striped bass is about to change significantly.
