EPO got a few guys down there yesterday, don't know who yet though.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

No, it is a slaughter of both fish and morals.

I friend was down there a few nights ago.
Landed a 30lb fish @ about 11pm & it was put on a bank, went back to fishing.
11:30 he’s posting on fb someone stole the fish.
May as well have left 2 $100 bills on the bank.

Mike, I disagree. I don't think there's any Jealousy involved. Anyone of the guys on this site could go and catch a 30# fish, it's that easy since the biomass of large have taken up residence.
It more a case of total disregard for the species. It is one thing to catch large. It quite another to catch a 30# fish, hide it in the truck and take another just for the money made selling.

I seriously doubt that there is very much of that going on. One of my good friends lives near there and fishes the canal all the time and he doesn't tell any of those stories. Doesn't everyone really want the fish so abundant that they could catch like that everywhere?

This comment was born from ignorance. If they are so abundant then why are the comms not catching their limit unless they are fishing the canal?

Ignorance? It appears you can't even read! I said it was the desired state, not the current situation.

I’ve been fishing there a lot since the late 70’s.
It was never like this until recently.
Lots of reasons why, the bulk is easy access and instant social media fish reports imo.

Go take a road trip pre dawn on a moon tide there. You will be dumbfounded.

I was referring to your opinion based on your friend "not telling those stories". Just because he doesn't speak about it or doesn't see it,really means nothing.But yes, safe to say we all wish more bass were around.

so you admit that you haven't been there yourself, but also doubt the word of those who have been there to witness the sh!tshow first hand......?

the entire canal should be catch and release. plain, simple, effective.

Sorry mass Comm guys, you should have to work for your money, ya know, kinda like how everyone else does...

The last 2 mornings I was there before the flea market was a chit show, a blind drunk monkey could have caught 2 30-40 lb fish....

I'll be up there again a bunch before the market in august, calling the epo again when i see stupid people doing stupid things

You can bet on it. It will happen again....sooner rather than later but no one wants to listen.
I had a long conversation with Mike Laptew last week and he and I are on the same page.

Game fish would mean more revenue for the hotels, restaurants, tackle shops, clothing stores, charter captains, boat rental and dealer ships to mention a few. I doubt any of these commercial guys are truly reliant on striped bass for a big percent of their income and if they made the switch to charter for catch and release; I suspect in the long run they would profit more. Florida and others are the perfect example, look at the economic impact their protected and priced game fish mean.

Take a look at the ultra expensive trucks and boats at boat ramps Monday and Thursday. No one is living a hard scrabble, pay check to pay check life there. Wish I was that destitute.

Thumbs down

Like on shark week in an area of Mexico targeted for shark fins.
It is a targeted "kill zone".

Exactly. The politicians are too stupid to realize this. Look at the Snook and Tarpon fishery in FL. Now worth millions to the rec dealers.
