I too fish mant different areas and cover a ton of territory. I only fish at night and I fish pretty hard. Also, this is not only me catching a small amount of fish this year. A couple of the hard core guys that fish with me and the region I fish have been seeing a huge decline the past few years.
Sorry if I sounded quick with u, but I don't understand some people out there. If I was still catching fish, but people in other areas saw a rapid decline in their region, I would be concerned. I just understand people's thinking....as long as they don't see it, everything must be ok. That is not the right mentality.

Myself and many others here believe there is a problem with the striped bass fishery...as usual it will have to crash before anything gets done! 2 fish a day in Ma. is 1 fish more than anyone needs in a day.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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
