Size of Fish Getting Smaller

1958 Fishing in Key WestWell I am back from fishing in Argentina, sorry for not posting from down there, internet access was not too good.  A report and plenty of of pictures to come once I get back in the groove and caught up.

I did catch this in my inbox from Julia Griffin  a master’s candidate in environmental science and management at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  I and a lot of others out there have suspected that striped bass have been getting small all along the Atlantic Coast, including in the Chesapeake Bay. Julia did an analysis of five decades of vacationing anglers’ snapshots from Key West and has determined the game fish species are getting smaller. Check out the whole article here , it’s a great read.
