Ain't any better here, and we have no sea bass to speak of,plenty of fish and bait, all small... we had a small slug (very small slug) of large 2 weeks ago, now we have more pogies than I have ever seen in 50 years of fishing, the only thing on them is tuna and seals and an occasional blue fish...all the schoolies you want on the sand eels.aint like old times
