Many days are lost to the weather each year. This year is no exception if not worse than others. Late Spring and cold weather delayed the start of the striper run. Not so great summer weather wise. Quite a few weekends were lost to mother nature. This is reality and it happens every year. Many off shore canyon tuna trips are lost to bad weather. Blackfish opens mid Nov. We all know how unpredictable the fall weather can be. Most of us can only get out on weekends and we loose many days in the late fall blackfish season. All the above are common knowledge to recreational anglers.The reality is in my opinion -Fisheries Management should come to terms with reality.
