Sad thing is that no one wants to listen. Either they're tainted with a commercial ticket and won't give up the play money or the fight is too much to do so they would rather give it lip service. I just spent a week on the Cape. Between the Tri-State Tournament-catch an release= and my own fishingI saw only 170 fish landed and another possible 75 to 100 landed by several hundred anglers to include 5 exscursions along the canal,which on swveral day showed no fish landed. When Bell rd and Freindlies is MT of hard cores by 7am and only has a couple fishermen at anytime tells the story.Yes there are a couple huge schools of stripers sitting on the sandeels and spearing out at Stellwagon and some fish in the Bay where are all the other fish that are normally around. There are hardly any small fish in their normal haunts ,blues are scarce and loaners on rock piles don't exist.Those that want to keep their heads in the sand will one day find the morratoriums back in place cause it was either too easy to ignore it all or the money was too good for the toys and fishing trips it bought.Your right Larry 1 fish is enough.Ron
