Stock Assessments
I have been trying to restrain myself as this phrase has been beaten in recent discussions regarding the future of striped bass.Who is it that makes these assessments and how much credibility have they proven they deserve.Is it like Obama telling us we are out of a recession,or is it an honest fact based report? I have listened for at least a couple years as seasoned old school anglers such as Jim White,Clammer, Numby,Afterhours,Sauerkraut(I could go on)tell us history is repeating itself with the demise of the bass.For some reason this isn't good enough for some folks (bossman)to take notice of their warnings.I like to think the glass is half full also,but I don't have to see the tree fall to know it made a noise.How accurate have stock assessments historically been?Is there any way to attatch previous reports for any species to validate their findings?
