Tony...thanks much for the info update and I completely agree with you on the sub-30's fish. It is concerning & I, personally, like to see small fish caught (& properly released) for any species. At least then, we know the fishery is healthy. Has the fishery in the past been cyclic with up's & down's as with other species (take perch five years ago vs. now) or has there been a steady decline? I know the sampling done by the DEC has shown a steady decline in YOY...
I've barely fished the river but between cullen and myself we have 15-20 fish to add to those totals including a couple ddinks. I've also pulled baits away from small fish already this season. Lots of mid 30s fish around right now, the ones that were Mia last summer.
