Hopefully it's not a repeat of the late 1970s, when there were incredible numbers of big fish in certain places--back then the Outer Cape--and very little along the rest of the coast.

I was just gonna say the exact same thing. If you read Frank Daignault’s book about that era, that was just what things were like before the moratorium; lots of big fish, and not much else. I hate to say it, but this does NOT bode well for the future of the SB fishery.

There was a photo of a guy in one of those books, who I could have sworn was me, with my white spiral Lami from Murat's, and a green 704. If it was, it would have to be from Nauset because I never fished P-town.
