Just spent 5 weeks fishin the Vineyard and 10 days in Rhody.LOL My retirement gift so to speak.Saw resident fish leave and no migration filling the holes.Last week of the Derby had days with just a couple 10 to 14 lb bass weighed in. This trend started 10 yrs ago. With less than 300 boat n shore bass weighed in -288- . Not much real effect on the bio mass anymore. bass fishing in Rhody was slow to poor all season.Block was good for a bit but besides that we all know the story.
We, the rod n reel coms have a small affect. Big boats land between 10,000 an 30,000 a haul. most bicatch goes back dead.Sometimes over 1/2 the catch. How many big boats do this. I watched 6 boats working Vineyard sound from 7 gates one night. We are our own problem. We need to stop quibbling and work together.We don't it really will be a dead sea. Greedy will always lie for a buck. Theives will always steal unless we step on the mess by working together. If the regulators don't due what the majority wants then we need to file suit to change the process and replace the people that truely are corrupted.No point being nice about it anymore. Fishin down right bites most places now. a few nice times from time to time but the all n all numbers show just how bad it's gotten. I kept one fish this yr to eat an weighed her in after she drove a 6/0 into my finger. MMMMMMM thats way more than 25% or 33% cut back. Keep argueing . If I get my truck fixed in time I'll be in Conn to speak my peice.Ron McKee- The Striper Maine-iac
