Capt. Dave,<br>Overall, I'd say that's good news about the big macs(sorry, couldn't resist)...I've been hearing a lot of concern about the lack of large and plentiful baitfish (menhaden especially) for the stripers to feed on. Some folks seem to think that's why we're not seeing the 50 & 60 pounders anywhere near as frequently as we used to. Maybe if there's a resurgence of mackerel in this region we might start cracking that 50# hurdle more often. Hope so anyhow...<br>Thanks for the observations, Capt Dave. Good to have you dropping by.<br><br>Jerry Vovcsko<br>Moderator: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island Forums
