It is not the weather, not the water temps, not that all fish went offshore on sand eels or around Long Island and skipped CT or wherever, The data and the eye test show that there are just a ton fewer fish.

agreed.
the eastern CT guys and RI guys are now finally feeling what the western sound guys have been saying for the past 5-6 years. WTF where are any fish? dinks? keepers? cows? with the exception of the boat guys finding the last of the mohicans in 50 ft of water, the western sound ct shoreline is a sea robin fishery once our resident bass dump out of the river and leave the surrounding areas in search of food.
the hudson dinks invaded on time in april, and..... that was it.... they moved on like always, and usually come end of april / may we get some decent hudson 10-20 lb bass. That run of fish was basically non existent in my neck of the woods. now whats left of the bigger hudson fish are filtering in, and the boat guys are killing them (everybody loves a dead 40 on deck!) as always...
