He did not do well this past year but fishing was pretty good the year before.

One thing I've always thought, it's what I call "The Fish Tank Theory" I think if the fish are being fed by us fisherman day after day in a particular area, they are going to stick around for the easy meal. If that's the case that might be part of the issue with the local flounder fishery here. We're not feeding them.

Point in case, there used to be a ton of boats on areas like Round Shoal on any give day in April. All of them with chum logs, corn, catfood and cracking clams etc. I would think this helped attract the fish and kept them there.
Your theory is a good one.. I tend to agree with it... bob
