Pun fully intended. As of late, all caught fish have been Smith Barney" fish, earning every one.
It's been a very early and quick bite, and although I've been able to defend against a skunking in my daily sorties, I've had to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat a few mornings. A "great" morning now is catching 4 or more stripers, instead of double digits...
Not sure for the exact reason of the summer slump, but there's no secret that there are less fish around. Another confounding factor may be the lack of pogies in the area, although there is a glut of small bait, brits and squid.
I'll be out there very soon, just waiting on the tide to float my boat...
