Default Lack of reports

Is the lack of reports due to the bite or gas prices (people not getting out)? Been going to school and I'm look to the forum for reports or lack thereof.

Would like to see some "catching fish" reports to get my fix? Help a brother out!

With all fishing there are up and down swings in population and location.But I do think the high costs involved with the sport are hurting the reports and general fishing time.

I know some of the buoy guys have been catching fish the last couple of weeks. Most of the fish have been really skinny with defined 'traveler lines'

They are there and they are biting, not in mass but definitely there to be had.

Here's a quick report:
I fished out of PBI on Sat night w/ E$. Caught one on a livie at 1 am. That was our ONLY bite. Spoke to others out there & they had nothing.

Doesnt seem very encouraging . . .
