Well I'm still tryin to get Monday off to make it down to the meeting. sometimes I think schedule the meetings so working people can't get to them like they do up here.
Cow hunter you make me chuckle. I heard it yrs ago. We have no resident fish then the next sentance you can catch them everywhere all season long all day long in your back yard. LOL Funny.I've chased the Striped Bass scince back in the 60's. The only other time we had it this bad up here was late 70's early 80's.The outer Cape guys were hammering the fish. Trust me I went down an got a few myself.But up here there were very few fish. The boats did ok but from shore forget it.The same signs are here now. This time the fish are off Jearsy an the EEZ fish which were there back then too just most didn't know it so they weren't fished for. They were found a few yrs back during the winter Tuna bight on their wintering grounds.The internet an charter advertisements let the cat out of the bag.People still keep taking moments out of history an saying thats how it was or is everywhere.Well I still fish all the old places an see fewer an fewer fish all around an hear the same as the early 80's from a small handfull.
We're not saying shut it all down but it does need to be slowed down a load.1fish 36 in ok . Comm cut back 25%30%50% whatever it takes. Slot limits really don't do much more than put fish in the hands of the beginners an keep more people fishing as beginners seldom catch large fish.20 to 26 in 20 to 28 in ok. but to just moan n groan so nothing is done is sad. You don't like the ideas come up with some better ones. but just to say nothing is wrong is stupid an rediculous.there is a problem so lets see who can show up on Monday. I live in Maine an I'm gonna try my best to get off from work.It's important to do something.
