the fact is most fishermen are a lazy bunch of guys.If they can't get in thier truck and drive to the fish,then to them there are no fish.if they have to walk more than a few hundred feet game over.with very few fishermen comes very few reports,most fishermen are not capable of finding fish on their own. you can live on memories from the past,but in fact many of the stories i hear are just that stories.you don't hear pf the weeks and seasons of few or no fish back in the day.though i didn't start fishing the cape till 97 i have some very close freinds who have been there since the early 60's and they paint a very differant story then most that i hear today.i find it rather amusing how people can say how bad fishing is yet in the last 5 years i tell you the names of every fishermen that i have come across at night in the Wellfleet truro ptown area.and i average well over a100 nights a year.in that area.no arguing that the times have changed,i have fished for more than 50 years and things have chaged every where,patterns have changed places have changed,if you don't change than you are stuck in the past.
