Is It Time for Conservation

Where is the bait?

We had craploads of decent fish around in May and fair in June. The Jersey guys are still hammering away at some fish. Probably some fish way offshore too.

I don't feel we are in a bad stretch (though could be better) but just in our area, a down cycle in availability...

Plenty of fish... from boats.

My son is mating on a charter boat out of Wellfleet this summer..
so far only one "off " day, with smaller bass (28-32 inches) most days they are into 36-40 plus inch fish. Bait in bellys ta boot. day the had the smaller ones, they was empty
I'll wait for the fall run to decide on the beaches... spring was OK, summer has sucked, and I'm on Semi- Hiatus, for now.. so far, I'm sticking to my seal theory... they are inshore= most striped ones will stay offshore.

2@28 can go... back to one a day..

and yeah, bring back the bait... and the great whites
