I have also read in the past that the bass usually run on a 7 year cycle. I don't know if there is any truth in that but if there is.... it should have been a little slow last year. Think about the stupid fishing in the bay 7 years ago, and not only in the spring, the fall run kicked a$$ as well. I haven't seen a good fall run in the bay since 2002/2003 |

Re: Where the bay stripers went last year! Must read!!
This post has gotten many ideas of the stripers and fishing in general. I live along the delawere river and was a shad fisherman. The last 5 years has seen the shad go from 25 to 30 hook ups in 6 hours to 3 if your lucky. large size of 25" to being lucky to get into the tourament min of 22". They still are comm fishing the fish and taking million of eggs from the river to stock other places in Pa. Everyone says that there not the problem!! I do not keep one shad because they are not good eating but one hell of a fighter! So as a rec fisherman I dont reduce the numbers but some how they get lower and lower runs!!!! I use to see the river raining with fry going down the river in sept/oct now i am lucky to see one 8' diameter of them floating down. The small stripers feed on this run and also sea gulls. Hundreds of them are in the Easton are to also feed on the fry. Now the Hudson river is also seeing a decline in shad numbers. Stripers also feed on the fry also not just bunker!!
Its all connected together and one or more out of place then something has to go down. Solutions to the problem is more than one answer but a combo! just hope this year I get more than one keep from going out 10 times for them paying 55 per trip. Maybe I'll bring my pole to Wegmans and catch the ones they have it would be lots cheeper but not as fun and seeing the sun rise or set! happy fishing all! |
