TWO BASS FOR RI CHARTER AND PARTY BOATS?

if the catching goes downhill in the ditch, then maybe all the yahoos will not come back and less people will fish there, that would be nice
maybe people will keep their mouths shut but that won't happen

It has gone downhill. People don't see it because of the daytime blitzes. Those are transitory fish. They're out in the bay and follow the mackerel and other bait schools in on those tides. I've noticed a decline in the numbers of resident fish for five years, maybe more. And when was the last time you heard of guys having 30-50 fish nights during the start of the fall? Nights when you stopped setting on fish and waited until one hooked itself because you just wanted to make it more challenging?

I know Mike, I was referring to the daytime blitz thing going downhill
it sucks that resident fish have pretty much all dissappeared in the last 5 years, I have done more fishing elsewhere because of it.

last time 30-50 fish was maybe 8-10 years ago I'm sure you were there
I'll never forget a night Jim and I had where his arms were falling off, maybe it will happen again some day
