So maybe the problem isn't the cold water, maybe it's the fleet of draggers working the area. And remember draggers can keep fish between 14" and 18" while recs are handicapped with 18" and above. We've all fished areas loaded with fluke one day, gone back the next to find a bunch of draggers and the dead sea. We're two-thirds of the way through July, fish have to feed. If the numbers were there, we'd be seeing significantly better results than what we're seeing. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out
