Yep, we have met the enemy.... and the enemy is us. Too many of us.... each wanting to assert our "entitlement" to fish a depleted species.

Collectively we are way too big and way overcapitalized to be supported by such a miniscule amount of available fishing opportunity.

It's not just limiting the encounters per rod, but also limiting the number of rods allowed to access the fishery.

This is how any quality sport fishery is managed in Europe.
