great report...thanks for sharing. always enjoy reading these...

im thinking you are right.

fishing pressure.


and maybe you have to go deeper to find them.

sure seems that way over the last several years.... have to work a lot harder, move around constantly, try all kinds of baits, plastics, etc. only real luck ive had is mostly in the fall/winter and usually in a river or creek. this weekend was no exception. still love being on the water, soaking up ...

Seems a Man just could sell his fish if he wanted to ....without the "man" getting involved.

Im guessing Jesus wouldnt have been able to feed the multitudes today (Matthew 14). The "regulations" wouldnt have allowed it.

Well...yeah sure...if you havent broken just one of the dizzy-ing array of fishing regs, boat regs, boat trailer regs, license regs, snorkeling regs, scalloping regs, and whatever other regs I may have missed. You dont have anything to worry about. :roll: NO, I haven't received a ticket lately. But ...

I think they are.

It seems more about writing tickets and collecting fines....than protecting any fish or wildlife.

All i know Ive been fishing for them for 30+ years and its the worst Ive ever seen it.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that recreational fishermen have contributed to the supposed decline in Trout.

Something else going on. Im not sure what it is...

I love to fish and catch trout and would hate to see limits lowered even further....but something is amiss. And it seems to be getting worse.

Agree.....you have to move around. Frequently.

Generally....whats happened to trout fishing? Seems its gotten more difficult to find/catch legal fish. The shorts, even when they are biting, seem to dominate mostly, with just a few keepers on a normal day. We always try all the baits, grubs, shrimp, cut bait, with/without popping cork. In shallow...

Man should leave the manatee (and others)....all this tagging/tracking nonsense...is nonsense.

Just my .02

great report.
been thinking of doing this...on a calm day.
what you catch the black sea bass on?
how big a boat did you go out on?

Thanks.
