Hey man, I was discussing this with a friend just this weekend, then I had another conversation about it today.
The days of shoulder to shoulder fishermen lined up along bolth sides of the bank with everyone catching fish are gone.
Not just slowed down, gone. I havent seen action enough in there to bring anglers like that in more than a few years.
As best we can figure, its been 3 or 4 years since the fishing in there has been OK, and five years since it has been good.
Much the same as reports out on the lake. Each year numbers tend to decline.
But what do you expect from the raised limits, and the massive increase of fishing pressure on wipers in the past four years?
You are not alone. Lots of guys have noticed.
The limits on wipers was raised due to the poor shad production. But even with years of good shad production the DWR has not lifted the six fish limit. The results of wich will be seen this year. Most guys wont notice but some will.
