how often you fish or whether or not you pay someone to take you fishing should not exempt you from the regulations that everyone else is following in my opinion, how often you fish is up to you.....why is it assumed that the clients won't be satisfied with enjoying the "fishing" part of fishing and need at least two fish for everyone on board plus something for the people on board who aren't fishing to be content with their fishing trip? they must be livid if they don't get something to keep....I guess I just have a different perspective...I don't have any issue with anglers keeping fish but no one has explained to me yet why 1 fish(bass) per day is not enough for a person to take home, bass are not scup or bsb, fluke(and they can take some of these home too btw)...they're much larger generally, particularly for the boat folks...can shore folks keep two if they hire a guide?...and one(or two) for the guide even if he isn't fishing....it gets very convoluted and creates animosity( or probably fans the flames of already existing animosity)when you start making these exceptions

When I used to charter a while ago (don't now that I kayak) that was often the only time I got to get any keepers that year. When you're plunking down 2-$300 per person to fish for a day, you hope to get something decent to take home. I'm not saying people won't charter any more for one fish a day, but you do have to think about it.
