This year stunk for a lot of fish. All the cold weather and rain really screwed things up. Tuna didn' t turn on until September. The flounder saved the day in Delaware Bay and rock helped out in the Chessy. I think the cold fresh water actually helped the striper run in the Chessy and a lot of places south. They didn' t feel the need to migrate north. The bait run stunk in the spring, too, if I remember correctly. I did catch a few nice grouper, snapper, barracuda and dolphin. That was on vacation, though. I just dropped the Aquasport (The " Dan" Forth) off to be winterized. I' ll have to wait until Spring.
