I hate where the fishery is going, and that the dolts in charge can't seems to stop stepping own their own d!cks when it comes to forming a rebuilding plan. I've moved on (for the most part).....
I'm hoping that smallmouths will fill the void, but I'm not that optimistic--there aint no such thing as a 40" smallie.
its depressing.......

red drums are pretty close. maybe if we can keep the waters warming fast enough, there is time for them to get up here in numbers  |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Zimmy, the last thing we need at the Canal are Red Drum. You'll have every jamoke in creation there |
No boat, back in the suds.

True. Would be a really hard place to land one though.

Agree with GotStripers on this one, and also was able to share with my now 34 yr old son. He caught his first on a brand new small rod/reel combo from Bennie's at Dunn's Corner when he was about 14 years old. Didn't reel, just walked backwards till the 27.5 inch fish came on to the beach in Weekapaug. Dropped the rod/reel in the sand, ran down and practically tackled the fish... "Can we keep it?" No, a short... Has loved fishing for stripers ever since.
GotStripers...
"I think most of us older guys have to consider themselves lucky to have experienced some of the best striper fishing ever and while we all might wish the stocks were at those levels again soon, I'm sorry future generations might not get so lucky.
I also consider myself lucky to have been able to share some of that with my one son who loves fishing and we also shared some epic smallmouth fishing in ME, with one 3-4 lber coming over the side all morning long. The fun of the morning being relived in front of a roaring camp fire at night will get me through any down time we have in this fishery."
