The only thing about bait supply and large Stripers is and I think #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& willagree with me . the fish in those pictures and many of the cows that were taken back when . Were not caught on mendedan ,they weren't even around in any great numbers here. ask the surf guys from NY that fished the Cape really hard and made good money what they used? it wasn't pogies. the late 60's into the 70's I fished Herring then right to eels if we still wanted big fish. you couldn't beat the old Cape Cod spinner w/clamworm, and at the same time the guides out of Westpory an cuttyhunk fished almost strictly the night tides in the rips with wire an big swimmers. How many times have you caught a striper on something you didnt exspect. be it bait or a fish .you were bringing in.DId you ever try it for striper bait? Ill never forget the time in October in Narragansett Bay when we were fishing cows with a bait tank completly full of live pogies/// and were smoked by a fisherman fishing the same place, same time ,different. HE wasnt lucky because this lasted 3 days in the same place on the same tide. on one of those days he won the old Newport Striper tournment with the largest fish of the 7 day tournment// I think porgy fishing made it easier-- no more nights , etc but it as\lso made some average fishmen or less into what thought were bass fisherman . boats with the family on it trying to bring in a good size striper without a clue how, but they snagged a pogy//there may nat be asmany fish as before or as large i surly don't know but I agree With #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& that if you know and adjust with conditions you'll still do better than ok. ive seen pictures of some commercial catches made the last two years in Mass. and if I didn't know better , it would have been the good old days///
