Don't believe everything you read on the net. Anyone can claim to be an expert with a few minutes of Google searching. From what I've seen, I would estimate they are half done with spawning right now. This is based on a few larger size bass some friends and I have been getting. It has gotten better in the last few days. I would say that the ones that are done early normally come down and filter into Jamaica Bay to feed for a while, and that could be the ones that we are seeing. The rest will be following shortly. Just my two cents
