You know whats getting sickening. They keep saying that the rec catch is growing due to all the people that registered for the registry not due to the fish that are being caught which is fewer than it has been in the past.
all they need to do is walk around and ask the shore bound anglers how the fishing has been and they'll hear a different story. Not the same as the boat fisherman say.They are a lot more fishing from shore than from boat.
Same damn thing as in the 70's an 80's. as long as there's a price or bounty on the stripers the greedy won't stop till they're gone.No matter what we do they down play it and lie about the real pic. Ron
