I love that picture! I hope the party boats suck the last fish out of the ocean!
This years fall run from the shore in Gloucester and most of cape ann, using lures (99% top water) was a 100% bust! and its was not just me. Guys you know and guides you know that catch (and release) 20-30+ 40" fish and 100's of smaller fish from Sep-1 to now got lets say? 30 fish? avg size 12"-30" TOTAL COLLAPSE!
so party boat on! because nothing will be done till the NY fishermen sees the same numbers. as for the canal fishermen? they are right up there with party boaters! its like the killing fields down there some days and once those fish are gone your going to have to learn how to fish in the ocean.
next year in MA for commercial fishermen; TAGS! AND THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY TAXES LIKE THE TUNA FISHERMEN!
