Wish I could have seen it during the real heyday in the 60s and early 70s; wasn’t up here back then. Almost no limits back then (which explains the original demise). Gonna be a while till things are right again.

Mike I have no real desire for bass, unless they are sea bass and I’m looking forward to tog now. I bet this year I’ve only caught a dozen stripers when fishing for sea bass in water that used to be full of schoolies most of the year.

Been fishing mostly from shore this year and have caught lots of small striped bass with some bluefish mixed in. No skunkings but some nights were only one or two small fish. Hardly worth the three or four hour effort.

I expect to catch larger fish in the coming weeks and will fish until the end of October. It's all C&R for me now anyway. Work and family issues have kept me shorebound, only a half dozen trips out in the boat that werent very productive. I still have time to take a shot a albies and bonito this month.

you have some better fish coming, it's been a great summer up our way, everything small to large splashing and playing in the summer sun exited somewhere between Tuesday night and Wednesday night... Wednesday I took my first skunking of the season, it was eerily quiet, only the occasional loud splash of a belly flopping sturgeon to remind me that there was actually some form of life there, pogies have been exiting the river for over a week, and I guess they took the bass with them. Now if only the Easterlies will die so I can get out on the beach.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
