Spring was mediocre at best, and the summer so far has absolutely sucked.<br /><br />Low salinity has thrown the croaker and spot bite off, but low salinity should have no effect on rockfish.<br /><br />Another moratorium? Perhaps, but whet we definitely need will be to give rockfish game-fish status along the entire east coast. Make the commercial guys all catch by hook and line. The commercial take is what is really killing the rockfish.<br /><br />I hope to read new posts from your blog in the future.<br /><br />Tight Lines,<br /><br />DonRivercat09noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221501186390652590.post-17385519488809651972011-05-25T18:44:11.431-04:002011-05-25T18:44:11.431-04:00When the season started back in March I had every ...When the season started back in March I had every intention of keeping up the blog...now I am not so sure. I have actually fished more days this year than ever, but have not had one single "post worthy' fish. Between the wind, rain, and stained water fishing has been tough. Still, the fish should be there, but they are not. I have not had any problem catching dinks, but have caught maybe 2 fish over 18. <br /><br />The water quality this year has been horrible, but I do not think that is the problem.The little guys seem to find the plugs just fine. In my opinion the Striper population has collapsed and we need another moratorium...now. Since I have never had success in June, I plan to try my luck at some of the local ponds for Bass. Hate to be so gloomy, but it is real bad out there.Rick Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987615561642648657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221501186390652590.post-56218595343767028252011-05-23T15:09:01.570-04:002011-05-23T15:09:01.570-04:00Rick - are you going to keep up the Blog?

The last 2 weeks of april have historically been great, but not this year. I have only managed 1 26 on plastic. Have been out to the shoal at least 6 times. We need a few windless days.Rick Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987615561642648657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221501186390652590.post-87060174460920996902011-04-20T22:13:54.238-04:002011-04-20T22:13:54.238-04:00Are you having any luck with the top water this te...Are you having any luck with the top water this tear?<br /><br />SteveSteve Bradfordnoreply@blogger.com
