I didn't live through the moratorium. I started striper fishing around 92 ish i think. I remember not catching fish, because i sucked at it,and maybe becasue there weren't many fish around. When i got my first keeper i was so damn happy and didn't think about needing another fish to take home. Imagining what fishing would be like without bass in our waters is scary stuff. I have been luck the past couple years to have found decent schools of big fish on occasion. On occasion though, many strike outs sprinkled with a few memorable nights. The disturbing thing is that they are not in places where i use to catch them. The places in RI where i use to be able to check my logs and go catch fish now are deserts. The only saving grace i am seeing in RI is that there appear to be a lot of small fish. We better do something to protect these fish as they grow. Take greed off the table. If people can't agree on 1 @ 28 across the board i think shutting it down like they did in the article would be a good idea.

Everything is better on the rocks.
