Can't be Any Worse

I'm up to six times in a row without as much as a hit in the Providence River. It has been ideal conditions, yet no fish. I also can't find anyone who has seen or caught a striper in the last week and a half. Last night I fished next to a few guys who were drifting live eels. In the past they had been able to score big time when nothing else was working. They, too, had no luck. The fish are just not there. It's looking like it will be a long wait until April.
