I fluke fish both rec. and commercially. I am not going to read the whole two part post although i do appreciate the time it took Mike to do that. My buddyon whose boat I fish, the boat captian/owner still gets his 200 #'s when he goes out. He is older though and doesn't push it as many days as he usually does. A couple of weeks ago after bass fishing quota (rec day) was reached we did three drifts and caught our 14 fish limit. Thats all fish 17 1/2 inches or better. I don't think we caught one under 24 on those three drifts. Very deep water though. But like everything else thats done in regard to the fishery thier doesn't seem to be a steady stream of common sense used instituting rules or catch quotas. When all of this means so much to all of us it can be very disconcerting one season to the next worrying about what we can or cannot fish for, or even if there will be any fish to go after next year.
