Is it just me?

I notice less serious fisherman and more of the typical "just bought a cheap rod and reel and a diamond jig or some bunker" fisherman that don't know much else. Lots of fishing during the day, but at night when I could write it on paper who typically shows up to fish each year (don't know any by name, just recognize the vehicles and grunts they make), that list shrunk massively over the past 2 seasons (we are talking about people who do overnighters).

Very eerie and alarming to say the least concerning actual fisherman versus fill in the blank. But I can't speak about the actual fish numbers.

Was a sad sight to see people aiming for bluefish and abandoning attempting for bass last week.

I know a lot of guys that "attempted" the bass thing last few weeks. I just don't know of single one that has succeeded

i regularly talk to guys from maine to nj. spotty at best with a FEW good nights mixed in. everyone talks of good amounts of bait. maybe the paranoid old guys knew what they were talking about for the last 8 years.
