I think freezing fish is immoral.

I used to think that, but I thawed a chunk from a tourney fish from last fall a few weeks ago... Not as good as fresh... But still really really good

what did you say "Opinions are like '
yeah
I don't have a problem with anyone's opinions. In fact, I love hearing what other people think. How are you ever going to learn something new otherwise?
I am scared of what I see, in my local spots. The spots I fished for last twenty years or so. Those spots that always had a fish or two, anytime I went. Its been almost a month since I've seen a fish there. Yeah, they might be migrating offshore, they might not like hot weather. Or don't care for NY taxes to take up residence..but I have never seen it this bare..ever

I agree with the principles being expressed in this thread but....
You know I am one of the "old guard" having done this for a very long time. I am having the best year since maybe the mid-70s. I think one of the answers, and I don't know the reason, is the fish now stage in different places.
In the boat, I have been catching in places that never held fish, and I always hit these places because they looked "fishy". This year, on certain tides, there has been a ton of big fish in places that I never caught anything.
I still believe, as almost everyone else does, that 2 @ 28" is ridiculous. When the heck will the fisheries management wake up and make it 1 @ 36"? |
No boat, back in the suds.

I don't disagree. Maybe the whole thing is changing. And I am glad you are having an awesome season. Just concerned, that is it

I agree. As long as it is legal, I don't have a problem w/people taking fish. I think the regs. need to be changed though. |

I have weighed in less fishing tournament bass than you, both by design and by skill and opportunity

Keeping an occasional medium fish to eat is no big deal.
Killing a large fish (and its millions of eggs) to show it off, weigh it for curiousity's sake, or win a prize,....while a totally valid and legal use of the resource.....is an intensely selfish act given the present state of the fishery.
The truth is that most fishermen don't care and, moreover, many are proud of it.
So it goes, it is a public resource and belongs to all types.
