LOL! Same here. And it's not for lack of trying.
I'm just telling it like it is. We fish hard and we have had many skunked nights.
If you guys fished we're I did and you saw the lack of fish, I have no doubt you would be very concerned.

I'm not being a wise ass, but the fish are where the bait is. I agree that the stocks are down, but there are still fish to be caught. As I mentioned before, I've seen a lot more small fish this year than in several years. Also, look at the commercial catches and how early the comm season closed this year. The commercial boat guys weren't struggling to find fish.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I just think everybody needs to look at the bigger picture. If my area is affected first, then it's another area and then your area. The lack of fish in my area should be a concern to even the areas that are well populated. Because at one time, my area was populated pretty nicely. It is not just this year. It has been a downward trend. I am only speaking from experience.
