Buckman, imagine what a marketing expert you will have to become if the population continues to decline...

I'm not taking any pleasure in arguing with you, i just want to try to get you to see beyond your next season of charters.

a healthy bass population with customers catching fish, having fun, taking photos, and still taking a keeper each home to eat is a much better marketing strategy than trying to spin multiple skunkings because the population has been hammered into minimal numbers.

When fish are present to be caught, everyone wins. Clearly, people go fishing for the experience first and foremost... the meat is the bonus... I mean, who pays hundreds of dollars for 4 fillets??? its the experience they primarily went out for!

its foolish to ignore the decline of the bass population because you are worried about captains who cant figure out how to make a day of fishing appear fun to attract customers.

Big Jay hit the nail on the head...
