Handling Bass populations with kid gloves is an absolute must in this "modern age".. Thats it, nothing else out there to fish for in March and April... No Stripers? Not much else to fish for unless you want Blackfish in April, and the last thing they need is more pressure because the Bass populations have dropped. Sad its come to this but here we are.. As I have written here a few times,Stripers were totally MIA for decades, but there was such great year round fishing for so many other species, they were scarcely mentioned, and not really missed very much.. Now they are back strong, and EVERYTHING else is MIA.. If they go, not much else left to catch .

Sharks I don't understand ... I wonder why the populations are still dropping?.. Are that many killed by sports??... Are weird countries still finning them at sea, mercilessly for their fins, so a few rich Chinese businessmen can serve them in a flavorless cartilage filled soup at their daughters weddings?.. I didn't think that was still a thing.. I thought sharks were being left alone these days for the most part....bob
