Would you still fish if snag and drop was not allowed?

I have not and never will fish via "snag and drop".
A big part of my enjoyment in surf fishing is tricking a fish into striking an artificial presentation.
I also feel that way to many large bass have been killed the last few years and snag and drop has contributed to this in a big way. So I am kinda against snag and drop fishing from that perspective (would welcome any laws restricting/eliminating snag and drop fishing). Just my .02 and also not tying to cause any dissension.

A guy posted this on another site, I agree.
Snag and drop- "I call it musical chairs fishing.
When the music stops, you better hope you have a seat or your out.
Other than that, there's absolutely no skill in it."

I average 300 bass a year and never snag and drop.

But you can bet on this, that snag and drop will put and end to bass fishing as the breeding stock is being wiped out by a mindless way of fishing done mostly by clueless people who don't understand the damage they are doing

True story......

There were some big bass caught yesterday (Fri) when fish were close to some beaches for at least 3 hours. Very happy that some guys got their PB bass from the surf....

What I'm not happy about is legitimate phone reports that were phoned in, of guys weighing in their fish at certain shops, giving them away to anyone who wanted them in the shop, and then back out again to get some more......that behavior, is absolutely appalling...and the guys doing it deserve our collective shame.....

This probably doesn't matter, because the ones who have been doing this, will keep doing it...just wanted to raise awareness that it is still happening,......
