Understood, but thats the way things go. It IS legal, and if 5 guys take 10 fish each, its not a problem in the eyes of the state, as long as they have their licenses . Now, is it ethical?.. Thats another question, and believe me I understand your anger. Problem is, should the government ""step in"" and solve the problem by not allowing any fish to be taken?.. I don't have the answer to these issues, and see the same thing here in NY in some places..
Guys don't want to be regulated any more than they already are, but also are finding fewer fish each year, as more are caught and eaten, and technology improves by leaps and bounds..
Look at the salt water forum.. most guys want LESS restriction on keeping fish, yet some species keep declining even with considerable restrictions already in place.. [Fluke ,Tog].. I am NOT arguing with you at all,, Just don't know exactly how it can be resolved... The main problem?.. Too many fishermen in a state [NJ] with limited freshwater resources. bob
