Finally, some sanity starting
There is a large poll going on at RISAA and several other organizations on changing the bass size and limit. It started yesterday and I happened to be on my computer when the first email came across.
I responded with 1 fish per day 36". In an hour I saw a dozen replies with all but one guy responding with the same answer 1 fish a day, 36" minimum.
If you guys notice there have been more threads this year than ever before regarding the lack of small bass and the decided downturn in the quality of the fishing from a few years ago.
It is happening. We are starting to see the same trend that we saw in the late 70s when there were a fair number of jumbos being caught but no little fish around. Believe me, you guys will not enjoy fishing day in and day out and never catching even a schoolie.
My log books say that in 88 I went 21 straight days at Deep Hole, Weakapaug, Charlestown and Quonnie in Sept with 1 20" bass. In 91, as the stocks started coming back, I remember getting 5 schoolies at Point Jude Light and I told the owner at the bait store that use to be at Pier 5 in Narragansett. He called me a liar in front of a store full of regulars. He said "everyone know there are no bass anymore".
