Well my thoughts are if there is big bunker in New Jersey and Rhode Island they have no need to travel any farther they stay with the food sorce at hand, Seals are a huge problem they are even starting up here, today we would find a school catch 2 or 3 and a seal would show up out of no where and the fish bolt.

Fred,
I found a canal special today, think it floated up here?

Bet they don't have seals down there...huh Bob? I do agree with you there though Bob. There have been loads of bunker down there as I have been hearing all season....why would the fish leave that?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

while on the subject of "bigfish".. what about big bait .. Didn't land any fish on large plugs..It was .. spring 6" needle ,,, summer ,fall 8" needle,,, on top all year 5" spook ... kept trying nights with large up to 3.5 ounce plugs no takers . "dude" I fish with does well on small plastic (bombers) and rubber ,,(sluggo's).. and needles ,, all small profile stuff .. Years back when I heathen fished, early spring I use to go to the pier and jigg macks .. Big macks ... getting 50 for the freezer in a day was not a great feat . pier was blood soaked mothers day to fathers day . That was the start of every year. I still check the pier every year just to see whats around .. Wish I kept records ... can't recall years but its been a bunch since the macks showed like that in the spring if at all . On the other hand herring run looks good .. just talking local , our area . Seems when the size limit was 36" . We caught a bunch of 20lb. class fish all year long . We're always looking for the cycle to repeat itself ,, I'm not sure it ever does.. Too many varibles year to year .. always felt the macks set up the early fishing season . Reality is the picture is too big for us mear humans to nail it down . seals don't help ,,, thats for sure ,...
