I Don't Care What Anyone Says........

I wasn't alive for the moratorium but I bet it sucked. Lets not have another.

Grew up fishing in the 90s and boy was it fun. I'd like something done to help protect the bass but I don't know how practical making it a gamefish is. I don't fish commercially, but a lot of guys do and the last thing that this government is going to do now is put more people out of work.

I vote for gamefish status, slot limit, 36" / 1 fish, or anything that will help.

just my 2 cents.

I've had a good fall run. numerous 20# fish with the highest being 35# and some in between but mostly stuck in the 20's. ALTHOUGH, I fished EVERY SINGLE night since sometime in september where I didn't make it out for a few days. a lot of hours. I'm sure my odds aren't too good but that's ok.

The majority of my fish did not come from my usual spots. After countless dead nights at each one of my usual's I moved and occasionally checked back.

Sometimes your old haunts are just that.


On the not so good end, the fleet at the islands just keeps getting bigger and most of their fish just meets comm size. multiple times this year I asked the local markets that a lot of the fleet use what largest of the day was and usually it was a high 30's fish. not good.

On the OK (still not good end), but a little relief since I've wondered all year. I've seen more schoolies (massive amount of 15 inch fish) in the last week then I've seen in a couple of seasons put together. The lack of schoolies was something I've been thinking about all year.

this is just what my season and what I've noticed, not disagreeing with anyone, not fact, just opinion.

really good sensible post. Kudos!!

I am encouraged to hear that you are seeing schoolies.
