I think the situation is exaggerated. For a few weeks, people were getting a lot of bass in the 20s in one very, very small area, in a very, very small state. Is that really an indication of the entire bass population? This year it was Providence, last year it was somewhere else, the year before somewhere else. JF - the bass populations IS spread out. I have been doing very well this year and fishing NOWHERE near the bunker schools. I get bait and go a few miles away to fish, no bunker around at all except in my livewell.
People used to slay bass on Herring in the canal for years, did that cause a major issue in the fishery?
I truly dont know, but I think opinions are being formed on a small sampling of a large population and geographic area.
