Is it just me?

I can't speak for anyone but myself. I had a good group of bass up in Boston that was consistent last week up to 20lb class, than it puffed northeast wind last week , blew hard westerly, and it's been tough going and the water temp dropped 10 degrees to 47.

If the bass numbers are down and Mother Nature does her thing, it makes it that much harder I guess. Just got the roll with the punches I guess and hope for the best.

A good number of small bass in the Westport River yesterday, but nowhere near the number I'd have expected this time of year, did catch one nice keeper which was a hoot on the light tackle. Also managed a couple keeper tog near the cottages at slack on plastic, again nice fight on light gear. Cold thou, water in low fifties and raw without much sun. Nice to get out with one of my boys and get that first run behind me with everything working.

I agree with Zimmy. Look at any of the data and it's easy to see that the striper fishery is in decline. I've fished the Housatonic River here in western CT for almost 50 years. The spring fishing 2015 can only be described as poor to fair. Not many seem concerned.
