I think the stripers basically got together and unionized. They're on strike until they get better forage.
Funny, I think striprman nailed it - fewer fish for the hours put in.
And this is obvious - I'm noticing a correlation with poor fishing and lack of any visible bait, never mind pogies or peanuts or sand eels or even silversides.
I'm still enjoying myself on the water, but it's awful funny that I've been doing a lot better in the less scenic spots up in the Bay on little rat schoolies than out in the open (SC PJ or 'Gansett/J-Town/Nport). Was very disappointed with Brenton Reef this year.
My most productive trip this year was down in the OBX.
