We had hot summers 10-20 years ago also. But there was plenty of big fish. It didn’t happen over last couple of years. From my experience big fish population going downhill for 7 years now. Ever increasing boat traffic keeps fish deep longer than they would like to, fishing pressure and possibly some kind of disease in my opinion it’s three major factors. Caught 14 stripers last night on bomber A. As usual 5-12 pounders. On third of them had some kind of disease in they mouth.
