It got easy so everyone wanted to do it.Up here in Maine there were only a few of us doing charters back then. Once it got easy the Maine Pram Operators association jumped on the band wagon looking for easy cash. About drove thwe Coast Guard nuts with all the little boats taking people striper fishing and getting into trouble. They seemed to not have any idea about tides and wind change and such LOL.10 ft out going tide with a 20 mph incoming wind MMMMMM not a good combo.They made those of us that were lisenced Capts get a supplimental Maine Guides lisence. Cause the pram operators didn't think it was fair to them now that they had to get a Capt lisence. All part of the big increase in the number of stripers-Due to the moratorium that we pushed for to save the fish.
