To me that will what dictate the run we have this year...

I think last year's run was good - saw some bunker schools last year(on some days_ that I have never seen before in terms of size and length...

Was disappointed in the east bite in 2012 compared to 2011 - that was banner...

I continue to lose faith more and more in raritan bay in terms of size and action compared to fishing out front.. but sounds to me you're right on point sal.

Every year is different.In 2011 we had great action on large bass in Raritan Bay.We had two bass at 49lbs and multiple fish near the 40lb mark.See what happens this spring.In 2000 we had limits everday until June 21.It sure is nice when there are plenty of bunker around and the bass are close.I have a good feeling about this spring.Maybe we will see some trophy weakies mixed in.
