as far as younger anglers? Very few fish or hunt anymore
no actually I comprehend quite well.. Even if you processed 2/3 of your catch for bait, according to the 1000 macks + or_ your family caught each year that means you still ate more than 300 Mackerel a year... Still quite a number for most people even those of us that will eat "fishy" tasting fish... Can't speak for NJ, but there are a LOT of young people here in NY state that fish and hunt.. They are everywhere up here, so many that many waters are now under ever increasing bag limits as numbers of white flesh pan fish are diminishing in even these giant lakes.. Perch , Rock Bass, Sunnies statewide are disappearing in places where they were once impossibly abundant,,, LOTS of pressure, and I assure you its not all old timers, depleting the stocks.....
