WH to Gansett has been S - L - O - W from shore all summer.
And very little bait. Some sandeels here and there, and some peanuts/herring every now and then, but not like it should be. And no fish on them, not even dinks.
Hot water too.

Numbers wise, I've caught as many fish this year as last year and I've still got 3 months to go. I've also seen and caught way more schoolies than any year since 2007, which to me is a good sign.
You just need to adapt to fishing different spots or different times of day. The fish are out there, you just need to find them. And as mentioned above, find the bait and you'll find the fish.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

The few giant ones out there, may be chasing the multitude of small ones away.

Or the larger ones that are here are chasing the smaller ones, since the pogie netters have done a good job of chasing the bait away.
I'm not saying these guys shouldn't be aloowed to net them, but that when looking at the entire bass situation, let's look at the ENTIRE situation. That means lack of bait/forage, netting of smaller fish down south, and those that are "accidentally" caught by commercial draggers.
You want to hear some nice bass stories, talk to guys fishing offshore for tuna and ask them how many 50 lbers. they've seen while fishing for tuna?
Sometimes it's also about where the fishing pressure is the lowest.
