But if bass experts on this site ( and I mean that as a complement )are not catching any fish from shore I can't imagine these guys would still in business. might be hard to imagine but you can have a great time fishing on a fishing trip without killing two bass

Besides that would be a whole different ballgame. They are fishing with little to no expense. soooo is there a dollar threshold that you need to reach in terms of expenses in order to get that second fish for your client(s)?



I look at charters as the most economically beneficial way to use the fishery. no doubt

They simply generate more dollars for the economy per fish then any other fishery. which means if they can only kill one fish per client they would only contribute half as much to the economy? I think I've got this now...but I'd argue that the charters benefit as much from the local economy as the economy benefits from them in many cases....many charters fish because they are in town on vacation and decide to go fishing and not necessarily in town to fish...not sure how much day trippers spend, my last charter out of town I spent money locally on some ice, might have gotten gas and a couple of power bars...

If you guys want it to be fair for everyone then you are against commercial fishing period. don't got this however, makes no sense


And that's just selfish damn...meant to say...it's not hate...or jealousy...or selfishness
