Nobody targets the small fish yet you will never see as many people standing shoulder to shoulder on the beach as you will on a Friday , Sat or Sunday afternoon in Novemeber when the small bass are pushing the peanuts into the shore. Not even on the west wall in april will you see such a density of fisherman .
Anyway , I hope the post brings some awareness to the fact that many of these small fish die if caught , handled or released improperly.
besides the hook and lure choice , I also have seen the boot on the 12 inch bass to hold him still while de hooking and the football drop kick to get them back into the water.
Peo0ple traet these small fish like they are useless when in fact they are next years 20 inch fish and two tears from now they make a great meal.
As with any conservation minded effort , all you can do is try to make people aware and hope they think enough to at least try to save a few fish
