Small Fish....Where are they?

[jmac]

I assure everyone there are more than a bazillion 14" to 26" fish around. So the sky is not falling.

I've had many 29-32" fishing slamming 15" pogies all spring (Upper Bay);summer, all along RI Coast...and from what friends tell me, the same at BI.......also, check reports from Western LI Sound right now....

I don,t consider 26" to 32' fish schoolies ;;

back in the day ......commecial .schoolies were 6# & under //


except for early spring & most holdovers .......... there are very few twinkies ll

I can see it & have watched it for @ least the last 6 - 7 years ... there has been a steady drop in [true] schoolie fish .
let see if some of the fisherman that enjoy fishing schoolies will post ;
B/I & the fish busting on the sand eels explosion don,t count ///////// which 98% are larger than schoolies .

Talk to the charter captains that have based there business on shallow water plugging ;;


BTW nice fish JMAC
