I started fishing down the cape with my dad in 78. I was very young but do recall the fish we would catch stripers, blues & flounder.. Do I regret the fish we kept? no I dont. Even though we were "having fun catching" we filleted and ate the fish we kept and yes we even sold some one year. It was a different time and place. Gone too are the days when you could drive RP and every one of the entire twenty people you saw out there waved and said hello. Anyway keeping those fish fed the family all year. It is no worse than the person that buys their fish in the store which is in fact worse if you want to add up the pounds of "bycatch" it took to put one pound of fish in the display case!!!! In fact if you fish at all you have NO RIGHT to judge someone for keeping legal fish.
Anyway #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& I am sorry I hijacked your thread.
