Striper meeting rant.

[QUOTE=RIROCKHOUND;1053613]You really believe that there is a significant percentage of your charters that pay the day or half day rate ONLY to catch 12 bass instead of 6 bass?


"Significant" - not really, and I've been telling guys that are worried about that they are better taking a small short term hit (if there is one) than getting crushed long term if the fishery goes to hell. We'll lose some, but not as many as some guys are worried about.

I also do pretty well with commercial fishing, so this will effect my bottom line - but again, I'd rather the short term hit than screw things up for the longer term.

But hey, according to some jackholes on this thread, I'm some fishing killing monster out to destroy everything in my path because people pay me to take them fishing and I sell some fish as well. I wonder if some people realize how offensive they really are when they start throwing out generalizations about groups of fisherman?

Jay, you have thick skin so suck it up. At least you are a full timer and respect the fishery.Haters gonna hate so don't be offended by generalizations. The part-timers have more of a negative effect on your bottom line than anybody on the computer ever will.
