I don't really think there's anything wrong.. I agree the fishing in RB has been way off this year.. but I believe that has been more related to the conditions than the fishery... too much fresh/muddy water perhaps(the streams up here are still at levels I normally see in May) , late warm up, etc..Also, it seems while bunker seem scarce, there has been an influx of sand eels in many areas.. which I feel could be causing a bit of a shift in feeding patterns from what we may be used to..but at any rate... surprisingly, after a few decades of fishing I still have enough remaining brain cells to remember other seasons... where things seemed bleak for certain species.. only to have the fishing bounce back in a big way later on in the season.. I think a look at reports from the past couple weeks will bear that out.. After 10-12 fluke trips on various PBs and charters for me so far this year, I'd call my results slightly below average.. 1 skunk.. a couple limits, but mostly at least a keeper or 2.. last week's trip was best so far, and I'm betting this week will be even better ;)
