i think the weatherman standard is to play 'the long game', ie predict next year to be 'normal' and/or to help avg out unusual features of this year. that would mean at least normal salinity and normal distribution of spot i suppose.
didn't del have to increase their striped bass citation size fr 37 to 40" last year?
and there a new pending VA state record rock? why not another NC record, assuming it gets cold enough to push them on down there in the regular numbers. md? - that's a tough call. i can't even guess if our weather pattern is favoring that being possible but it seems like there's better than fair percentage of big ones out there.
i expect this year's baby rock to have surface-feeding frenzies next fall, the way they should, all over the place.
hopefully snakeheads didn't spread but i expect that's likely happened. but it will probly take a couple years to see if they reproduce in new areas.
