Willie Are You South Yet?

You are right Willie. Was looking at the latest trawl surveys in CP Bay and year of the young not looking good and a lot of that fish diesease. Lots of small bass around this year in my area but not too many of the prime breeding stock. We all only think of our own backyard and fail to think that the bass get hammered from South Carolina to Maine everywhere they go and there are more meat fishermen than there are sportfishermen so big numbers of fish never make the circut.

Thanks for the post. I've earmarked it and will sign up this weekend. It sure was a bad striper season last fall, the worst for me since the mid 90's.

Had planned to fish on Outer Banks but wind and rain shut me down.I did manage to catch one 25" bass on the Bay Bridge on New Years Eve before a cop chase me from my spot telling me fishing was only allowed on the pier
