The 2 year lag has been going on since the moratorium was taken off in 1991.
Patterns change. The Stripers didn't used to gather off the mouth of the bay in the winter. Pattern changed (weather) then they did. Pattern changed (weather) and they were back off the Carolina coast. Same thing is happening up the coast.
