Price of gas and poor fishing reports probably have a lot of the part-timers sitting this one out, too. Which is good for the full time comms.

a lot of guys are really struggling. i know of 4 guys that fished on tuesday and wednesday in the same general area. between the 4 boats, 2 fish in 2 days. these guys are good fisherman, which makes things pretty depressing.
a lot of the part-timers are finding out that its not always easy trying to be a commercial fisherman.

As of August 16, 2006...
847,175lbs.
74% of quota caught.
at this rate your probably looking at 2 more weeks, unless there is a glut of fish that shows up off chatham or gloucester.

Rumour has it a charter boat out of the Harwich area was bagged yesterday by the EPO's, and the feds in the eez. Guess they followed him as he tried to run and chuck the fish over. They just netted all the bass and finally got him near Monomoy. The feds vow to make an example of him. Not good, not good at all. This is gonna cost him many many thousands of dollars when they get done skewering him.
Stoopid bastard.  |
Why even try.........

Any more on this?
It sucks that these guys who earn most of their yearly pay taking customers out to catch striped bass are restricted to some of the least productive waters during the summer months. Bearse's is a desert most days in the summer and when you throw in 40 boats on the same rip..... But a few miles SE are some great bass rips, but fishing them makes you a criminal. Why? Because a fish swam over an imaginary line on a chart....
I know a guy who is honest as the day is long, got skunked on an 8 hour trip because he refused to fish in the EEZ, even though he knew there were loads of fish there.
Ok, now you can light me up about the rules concerning the EEZ  |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
