Its not that I blame the commercials for the whole bass situation. I have bad memories of the years before the morritorium. I grew up in a town on the RI Mass border. Every one knew that the fish were in trouble. Yet there were gill nets on every point and not just one but on every conceivable area they could be placed. But You look out to Westport and no gill nets. Point here is that a commercial guy will use every legal method to take the maximum legal catch with no regard to what it does to a fishery. Think of the conditions of most of our fisheries if there is a commercial presence they are in worse shape than they were when you were a kid. Face it the commercial guy's soul purpose is to fill his legal limit or quota no matter the state of the fishery. Unfortunately there are recs who operate this way. Sorry to keep ranting just tired of fishing night after night and catching tiny bass or no bass.
