Good news for the future ?

Blinded by science !
Statistics can be used to dance to many tunes.
But as someone who has been obsessed with chasing this fish since the late 60's, I'll trust the empirical evidence. The near shore fishery for bass is a shadow of what was. Many spots that would hold decent fish even in the lean years are seldom producing at all. Some still do but in general these fish are not as wide spread as the past.
We are too greedy to back off a bit. The keep em all attitude I've seen this year is more than I can recall seeing. As long as you can score $100 a fish, good luck with the culling, stacking, highgrading and poaching. Non enforceable and the fines are to lame to be a deterrent. A part of me wants this fishery to go right down the tubes, just to teach us all a Fn lesson. 😠

I'm with you. I really think nothing will stop the slide now. Too much money being made on the remaining big fish.

You missed it because there was there was not one of any worth? well if you lived there or came after work on the lucky days you would have thought there was. nevertheless, i hope of the cuts? otherwise?

here is Skip Montello trying hard this fall to catch a fish.



and as to the at stupid plum island surf cast logo you have? TELL YOUR FELLOW FISHERMEN TO STOP KILLING SO MANY FISH! TELL SURFLAND AND LIZ TO STOP DISPLAYING PICTURES OF 28' FISH.

I know you have something useful to say but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
