I think we caught lots of fish in th 90's. The late 90's were especially good. Now , either me or the fishing is slowing down. OK I will accept some of the guilt but not all of it. I think fishing is worse now than in the late 90's.
It's better for big fish from shore now than it was from 93-2000 - I started fishing in the late 80's but I was more a danger to myself than to the fish until about 92.
Lots of fish around 28-34 inches in the late 90's - it was not uncommon to get six or more keepers a night. Bigger fish are being caught with a lot more regularity now than at anytime since I started.
Its a very subjective question because few people cover a lot of ground like they did in the commercial days.
but not all of it. I think fishing is worse now than in the late 90's.
