just 2 cents here, i know how lousy the inshore fishing has been these last couple years. I honestly do not believe that it is because of the amount of fish com's or recs are taking, or that it is because their #'s are getting low. I believe that these fish have adapted to their surroundings, meaning because of a general lack of enough forage inshore to hold large bodies of fish, they have been surviving on sand eels, ocean herring, whiting, macks etc. in the vast areas of cold water offshore, where we would never expect them to be.
