Re: Get your fluking in
We have that here as well. Certain fisheries basically in collapse, but a guide here or there that still catches fish and says the fishing is good IF you know when where, and how to catch the remnant... I have never thought that sort of scenario was an indicator of a good fishery.. Even when the Cod fishery in Canada and the Gulf of Maine was in a state of total collapse, and the stock was deemed "commercially extinct" there were still guys screaming about the closure and wanting to catch whatever was left, because they knew how to and where to catch them.. Human nature and all.. There are a lot of fishermen that would be all too happy to catch the last summer flounder in existence in the NY Bight if they could.... bob
