Another one of the old timers I know were talking on the phone just this week....he nailed a nice 17# bass at 5am 2 weeks ago in the pre-dawn surf....he certainly knows how to catch fish.....

He said to me...."Rich, those fish are coming through, and they are there, but in small pods at a time.....
I lived through one moratorium and I fear another one is coming soon....
You can't catch fish, that aren't there...."


I absolutely agree with him on his statement....and bring things like this to the attention of you folks, to re-iterate and raise awareness, that things are not OK with the Striped bass fishery, despite the myopic minimization of the folks at the ASMFC...
The striped bass biomass is in trouble....


**And the fishermen who fish regularly, would see that more clearly, than scientists and politicians, who don't......

please educate yourselves about what is happening out there....don't just take my word for it....The best of the best....are saying the fishery is in trouble, and headed for a crash...with conditions similar to last time...
Thanks, as always, for reading....
