I was referring to the mythical offshore bass population that people love to fantasize about...the teeming schools 20-30 miles offshore all the way to the canyon that plague any discussion of conservation whenever the topic comes up.

In other words, if the surveys show weak numbers...it's because bass are congregating out in the blue yonder, no need to panic (or reduce the take)!

If Sal was just talking about 3 miles, apologies. Those fish obviously exist, and get pounded by unscrupulous boaters who drift in and out of the marker.
