Ask some of the offshore tuna guys whether they think there's a shortage of big bass

Which is where the bait is concentrated. The old truism still holds---find the bait and you'll find the bass.

Late May/early June you had big bass spread from NJ to the Canal and beyond.

you can stare at a big dead bass all day long.If you can't catch one you can't kill one.Very few can catch them with any consictinacy to make much of a difference.Imho.Unless your releasing 40# fish you can't get mad at some one who is not.

and i hope to add to that list for early July and extend it on up
to THE Other Cape. how's about these big fish being caught
and the fact that most of nature is still in a Spring pattern??

many of me bride's gardening freinds are as up in arms as we are!!
this could be a crazy July~~Aug, and then it's Sweet Spot Time up here!

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

saw a football field of 20+ lbers swim under the boat a couple weeks ago. Can't say the same for tuna though.

Came across some old posts on another forum from 2001 and the sillyness that was tuna fishing. Only 8 years ago but I don't here the same numbers being posted. Maybe the good fishermen just got quiet while us blind squirrels are still looking for that nut.
