I’m beginning to think there’s a problem with the striped bass stocks. This year was terrible. Commercial bass fishermen couldn’t even find the stripers. I was fishing with live pogies for three straight days this past weekend and I didn’t catch one striped bass. I drifted them, trolled them, and used three way rigs, but no bass. I think the stocks aren’t as good as these so called scientists are saying. They’ve been wrong before. They were wrong about lobsters and they’re probably wrong now.
