Reading report threads on other sights and how many skunks are reported.
The poster seems genuinely surprised they are putting in so many hours and catching nothing or very few fish.

They have a passion for catching striped bass.
Sure they do.
How absolutely stupid/ignorant they must be to not see the amount of pressure put on the Striped Bass the last few years by the increased amount of fisherman and regulations that are far to generous. It should not be surprising that good fishing is very spotty. Anyone see a trend the last few years on the catching?

Hope the Oblivious Surfcaster enjoys fishing, cause there is going to be a lot less catching.
