Open your eyes. Winter flounder, summer flounder, ling, whiting, cod, mackerel, porgies, sea bass, blackfish, stripers, bluefish, weakfish all without limits. Multiple fisheries for every season without possession limits and every stock was healthy and robust for years. Department of Commerce, NOAA and the powers to be realized some time ago the ocean is an endless supply of wealth for them to exploit and that's exactly what's been happening for decades. If you can't see it your blind. Combine that with insane operating costs to run a small business today and an industry which went from being virtually unregulated to overly regulated, I'm surprised there's still three boats in the Highlands. But as you very eloquently pointed out, no one wants to hear the truth on this site.
