"Safe to say the worst OCEAN spring Bass run in 15 yrs..Conclusion - second yr of a declining ocean run season. Weather patterns continue to plague the eastern seashore - 2 yrs running.
My data doesn't support nor negate the negative effect of prior years cull limits. While I support freedom of choice and to each it's own, I have the same line of thinking to the state of the fishery and the effects of consumption."

^^^^Just read this today. I agree 100%. The spring run is nothing like it used to be. It used to be a no brainer to take a run to the shrewsbury rocks and pull a full limit from there with several fish over limit, only keeping limits or less. I have only gotten stripers at the shrewsbury rocks twice this year.
