I have always heard they were cyclical. Last year I got a good number of them in Great South bay in September on gulp. More than I have caught in years. They were mostly small like 12-16". This year it seems the bigger ones are around a lot more. A pic of one they caught out of Captree the other day. Beautiful big fish.
