I'm with Bob. OTW is the only publication that hasn't posted a major article about the status of the bass fishing we're all experiencing, or at least an accurate one.
I don't subscribe anymore but there has been a lot of info and links out there with pictures of giant schools of bass in CCB. Those fish are all over my beach right now and they're about 14" long. I think the article estimated them to be 20lbs (i might be wrong on that)?
OTW used to post links to the complete catch report for the striper cup and you could go back a few years too. I used to open them in excel and sort by weight/date/state to see what month the larger classes usually showed up. Each year, there were something like 2500 fish entered and 90% of those fish were under 25 lbs - with NO shot at winning anything.
They have one of the largest audiences of anglers anywhere, they should be educating the masses. Maybe the weekenders who keep fish just to give to the neighbors wouldn't do so if they knew.
They really need to look in the mirror.
If there has been a lot of negativity on this board lately, it's because we're all watching our fishery get wiped out and know how long it's going to take to recover, IF ASMFC actually does anything to help. It is striped bass.com after all. I think OTW has a board. Maybe that's a bit more positive...
