JFigliuolo,
You are not alone in your opinion.
Most of my friends and myself would match your notes word for word.
I would love to have been witness and fished that most recent bite,
but after hearing what has transpired, I am equally glad I missed it.
Plain and simple, most anglers are not true fisherman and most do
not care about the resource. Strip some of them of easy fishing,
bragging rights, or financial gain...and they would never wet a line.
Not that I fault a single one for their behavior, as it is all perfectly
legal and expected. It is all very human to act this way. The problem
is not with them, but rather with the government's management of
the resource.
The hearing about the canal reminds me of the times when I pull up
to a beach and see litter, the dead skates, and dogfish that an angler
discarded. Behavior just sad and an embarrassment to human beings.
I am with you. I will go fish a tide that no one wants to fish on some
other beach, over joining them.
