Time spent at the water was enjoyed, but the lack of Bass was depressing.

Thanks for sharing that sufwalker.
Each week out there, other than the key bait and fish migrations when it's relatively easy to catch bass, brings to my mind, more of what you were trying to describe, fishing during the moratorium. I am fishing key fish producing areas, that are not really holding many fish as of late....if I can't consistently do well in a key area....I imagine others may have even more frustration picking a random area and expecting to find fish ....
