There was a school of bass 10 miles long off the backside spotted by a few spotter planes. day after day all summer long but I guess the Pratt family probly made that up.
Lets not forget the commercial bass quota only took 17 days to fill
NOAA can't count there own toes

Best two years of striper fishing on the backside of cape cod we've ever seen.
Fish move.
The bait is the problem. Protect the bait, the stripers return. |

Anecdotal evidence does not represent the whole population. Best fishing on the backside also happened right up to the collapse. Are you saying best two years ever, including the 1960's-early 1980's? Bait wasn't the problem in the 60's- 80's. Overfishing was. We have harvested more fish in total in recent years. It will lead to collapse, if it hasn't already. Fish move, but 10 years ago they moved, as well, yet were found up in down the coast spring through late fall. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

One big population on the backside, yet an absence of fish everywhere else... stocks must be healthy. 
Didn't there used to be a time when you didn't need a boat to catch stripers because the fish were literally everywhere along the shore? |

Sorry, couldn't resist the pun...
