I checked the MD DNR #s. Based on 8 being good, there have only been 8 years that meet or exceed that since 1957. They are: 1958, 1964, 1966, 1970, 1993, 1996, 2001, 2003.
Not to imply that I am not concerned about how things seem to be heading, but it is hard to know what the #'s really tell us.
1958 was 11.12, followed by 0.59 in 1959.
Thirty two of the last 51 years were below 4, including eight of the years between 1957 and 1969, which is considered part of the golden years of stripers, you could say.
From 1973 to 1988 there were only two years above 3 and they were 3.75 and 3.37. That obviously was bad.
Average (mean) for
1957-1966 is 4.56.
2000-2009 is 5.69.
