I think it is foolish to deny there are less fish when COASTWIDE the recreational catch number is 1/3 of what it was 2 years ago.

Remember, a large percentage of that recreational number is made up of professional charter catch. Subtract that and you can easily see why us average schmuck recreational fisherman are not particularly happy.

Sure if we quit our jobs, ignore our family, trailer a rig hundreds of miles, fish bait guided by electronics and cellphone contacts we could do well.......but that is not why most of us fish, nor what many of us consider fishing. Too bad for us, it appears.
