Why fishing is so good this year--BAIT = fat fish

This year is the year of the bait. Early the squid were thick as printers ink, then mr bunker arrived in droves followed by the best early fishing I have seen in 25 yrs. The fishfinder display is a very common occurance this year, its just loaded w/bait.

I have caught a bunch of bass this season and there are very few thin racers. This girl was 39.5" and weighed 32.5#'s. She is a PIG.

Jim is a great guy to fish with. He talks to his pogies and names them as well. Lucky was his favorite, I caught him feeding lucky Rock-Star Energy drink... its like black beauties for bunker.

We had a great time. Jim will have his new SWEET boat very soon. Clammer want to sink it at the slip.

You're lucky. The squid never arrived here this year in numbers like years past and neither did the macs. Bunker have not been seen here in 20 years. There are fish but lord knows what they are eating.

Hey Jim,
The pics you took made me look fatter than the fish. Truth hurts!!!
Great time. That fish had a ton of bait in its belly.
