Thats correct, and I could never really figure that out.. We do see big ones, but usually on deep water wrecks as the fish move offshore, or a few mixed in with average size fish in summer/fall..
The east end of LI has clouds of big porgies, and they are caught by guys in 14 footers, or even just standing on rocky shorelines.. Whats really weird is they are mostly on the LI side, and not so much on the conn side... bob
