Have a good friend that when I mention certain places I want to fish he asks "Why, you can't kill anything". He fishes to eat, which is fine.


It's ingrained from previous times of plenty and from having a vast open ocean at your doorstep. I get the "why", but in other landlocked places, fishing like that in perpetuity results in zero fishery after a bit of time. It's kinda common sense if you ask me.

Gee - I wonder if that isn't a part of the problem we are having here now? Just so everyone knows, you are not less of a man or fisherman if you don't limit the boat. It's not the end all, be all of a "successful" day on the water. Just sayin'. wink
