The spring this year wasn't good but July has and august has started good as well. I heard the canal has been hot recently and a buddy has been doing well on the Brewster flats.
BTW where in bucks county are you? I grew up in chalfont.
Thank god for the Albies, they are my favorite. Bass fishing gets worse every year on account of the piss poor management that allows unsustainable harvest. I am not sure if you were up here in the 90's but the striper fishing was off the hook back then. Hardly worth going now.
