Some days it rains, or the wind blows a gale, sometimes nobody gets out for 4 days due to storms and then the fish are scrambled and it takes days to get good fishing.
If it blows on weekends, less people fish during the week.
How many times do party boats not sail due to lack of participation.
It is a big Ocean. I'm not buying it. The Bay is on fire this year. If we overfished, the bay would have to be quiet too.

The biggest mistake I can think of is alot of people from up here in Monmouth and Northern Ocean Counties can do, including myself, is only think of the North Jersey coast's fishing, when it comes to the daily catch of the Striped Bass. We have the Private, Charter, and Party Boats down in Central and South Jersey as everyone knows. If you think of only North Jersey's daily catch, then it probably isn't over 100 fish per day. But if you think of the whole state, it would make sense that it is 100+ per day. That is lot of fish for a days worth and for a whole entire state.
With that being said, does anyone have any spring run Bass reports from the central and southern region for reference? That would certainly help a lot.
But in correlation to my main dialogue, do you think that is feasable? If I am wrong, I would like to know what is right.
