Exactly my point. You get people that say: "You're just not looking in the right spot." or "Inside the bay is loaded with bass and so are the areas off Orleans and Chatham." That's like looking up into the night sky, counting the stars you can see and saying "I counted 250 stars so that's how many stars exist." For a fish that has a range in-excess of 1000 miles, basing the health of the stock on how the fishing inside Cape Cod Bay was is just silly.
The ocean is vast and these tiny snap-shot opinions of the health of the stock based on personal experience is useless.
