I'm sure most of them were not charters . Strange for all those fish for the taking from a biomass on the verge of collapse . Huge schools offshore .
Perhaps the good news is things are not so bad

I guess you haven't been reading all the threads this year, pretty sure there is a consensus here that things are in fact really bad. Having a good school or two of large in a couple offshore locations and nothing inside isn't any indication things aren't in bad shape. Acres and acres of bunker going unmolested suggests otherwise. Spring spots for schoolies, which year after year loaded up every May and June as they migrated north, dramatically shrinking in size with the passing of each year suggests otherwise.

Just because that is the consensus HERE, it's not a tell tale of the fishery.
This place has all but forcefully evicted anyone who dares to differ with the opinion of the masses. Just look at this thread and the negative comments. Anyone who has a different opinion is greedy, corrupt, ignorant or all of the above.
Used to be Friday nights you couldn't keep track of all the threads on here. Today your lucky if there's 2 posts over the weekend. The reason the masses here all believe the same thing is that anyone who dares to differ, doesn't even bother to post anymore.

Soon there will be 100% agreement on This board.

You haven't seen anything til you have seen a party boat in the middle of all the charter boats hammering bass,over the fence at 0 dark thirty!

That is why this group fights tooth and nail to keep the kill numbers high.they care about the future of the species, it is all about making a buck today.
