It surely is not... we used to catch as many as we cared to clean off of the Salem wilows pier and docks in beverly .. borad day light and a swedish pimple tiped with sea worm...

I spent many a night on the exeter river catching enough each trip for several meals... last year.. the ice never was safe on the exeter...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
