I'm a believer in the cycle theory. Mike is right, it wasn't always glory times on The Back. We had down years and spectacular years. 94, 95 were banner years for big fish. 99, 2000 not so much. 2001 Fall was HUGE.
My old record books show that 96, 97 we "sucked wind" from mid-July thru the 1st of Sept. I think we tend to remember the good night and forget all the bad ones.
There is no question that the seals have effected the quality of the fishing. I still think the Bass will come back.
