as the [old days ]
people are stating ==this is the best they have seen === well ><>< In the eyes of the beholder ;;;
Do you have any idea how many fish were caught [[BEFORE}
think about it === the gear .both fishing & electronic.s were primitive compared todays ;;;
we fished for years with no depth/fish finder == GPS didn,t exist =ranges were the way /or the nit wits dropped markers // & yes we were screwed when we couldn,t see the ranges ;;;
back then there was no closed commercial season & every state had a 16" limit except Maryland which was 12"
Now we have all different size limits / & slots /no slots . commercial /no commercial /closed // open
special sizes for special fishing // I believe & may be mistaking that the trap commercial size is smaller than R&R & Maryland still has a smaller size ;;;
We are just toooooooooooo tuned in to the fish // alot more people , boats , equipment , alot less enforcement // both rec & commercial ;;
back in the days // you had to know how to fish /or you didn,t get [ANY} ::: Now a yahoo trolls a straight bike tube on wire & catches a 60# /marks the spot with GPS & he,s a hi-liner
if it wasn,t for the electronic,s , internet , articles & ego.s ============= the majority would be yanking their chains >>>> & we have more FISH><><><
ya wanna know when it was the best =================== just before they open striper fishing up to keeping fish again // dates I can,t remember / but I do remember schools coming with the tide ,on top in the bay , not on the spring nor the fall run -==just coming ;;
I remember seeing school;s larger than any bluefish school I,ve ever seen ;;
Going to work ;;stop at this point , take a couple . run to the next ,same thing , again & again ;;coming home after work /usually between noon & one // bright sun // different tide / same results ;;; I had to leave the rods at home because I never got to work ><>><><
I know for a fact that you could get two dozen pogies /after work run down the bay // & use them up on 20-40 pound fish ;;;
I also now two guys that ran to a spot at night // & caught more 50,s & 60,s than you thought existed ..
BTW ===== .15 for bulls ,50 for bass under 6 lbs =========== some dealers wouldn,t even buy large ///
This year $3.00 P/P for any fish over 34" ================ I wonder what a 16" bass is worth ...
I guess I,m done ///just a fat ass [Belly]Clammer
