You guys just don't know what you're talking about when you talk about fishing 40 years ago. I was fishing , both commercially and recreationaly 40 and even 50 years ago and fishing is much better now for most inshore species than it was then. Yes some fish are now and were then cyclical, bluefish and weakfish in particular, they would get scarce for some time and then come back strong. As I said before the only species I can think of offhand where fishing was better back then is tautog and winter flounder. We catch just as many fluke, sea bass, scup, triggers, today as we did back then, but today the fish are TWICE the size of the ones we caught back then.

When did you start fishing Slow Eddie? I started around 1951.
