Re: i remember ......
For what it’s worth, lots of things have changed for recreational fishing over the last 50 years.
- NJ population alone increased from 7 to 9 million.
- Number of party boats dropped? Less fishing pressure from party boats?
- More private boats and charters, and boats got bigger and faster.
- Improvements in fishing equipment and tackle
- And probably the biggest one, technology and electronics. Chart plotters, fish finders and communication between fisherman (cell phones). That makes us much more efficient at finding/catching.
I wonder what the cumulative effect has been?
