ITS TIME TO FISH OR CUT BAIT

[dannyplug1]

At the risk of offending some, its time to make a stand. If you think the bass are in trouble as I believe, its time to go to one of the meetings and say your peace. If you don't go, the bass population will continue to decline and we will have no one to blame but our selves. The people who make money from dead bass will be vocal and in numbers at the meetings. Its time to show the appointed officials what the majority of the angling community feels about the bass situation and regulations intended to address the situation. Over the last four years my friends and I have seen the steady decline in our catch. I look on the internet boards and see we are not alone. Up and down the striper coast the story is the same: no bass. Note there are isolated pockets of bass like block island where the last of the stock is being slaughtered as the price of bass goes ever higher. The situation requires immediate (not over three years!) and decisive action. If we don't attend meetings, express our concerns the regulators will not have the courage to do what's necessary. In short if you want to have stripers to fish for, its time to cut bait or fish. See you at the meetings.
