Re: Where the bay stripers went last year! Must read!!
1st of all, their were a TON of bass in the bay Last April/May as we crushed them troilling 4-8' diving plugs on light tackle and others CRUSHED them on clams (100 fish days).
The problem came when the water warmed up and their were very little to NO bunker for them to feed on in the bay.
SO, they left andheaded down the coast where their was a GREAT run from Deal South.
NO bunker in the bay was the reason why the stripers left the bay mid-end of may last year PERIOD
Not illegals, not keeping larger bass (altho that will take it's toll eventually to a degree).
