I get that....and find that apathy in many areas in life when I try to get fishermen involved......


The thing is, every year we notice less and less big fish caught....
The OGB is fond of saying....."Striped bass are not like Doritos, you just can't make more!"

I think that's a great assessment....and really wish folks would pay attention when he says that.....

Thanks for the different perspectives, people.
An important point to remember is that Finchaser is one of the anglers who has seen the ups and downs of fishing. He was fishing regularly long before the moratorium. I spent a large # of my teen and young adult years partying, chasing girls, and then finally getting my life in order. I missed out on a lot of the 1980's to 1990's fishing as I would fish, but only occasionally.

I mention that because a long time ago I decided it wasn't just about my credibility.

It was about the credibility of Finchaser and fishermen in his age group that have a wealth of experience.
They have fished it.
They have seen it.
They have lived it.
