  1. With the prices today to get on a head boat with my kid and catch a very limited number of fish (by law) it’s just not worth it anymore. The adage take a kid fishing is just not possible for lots of people today, and it’s a shame

    1. Hi Bill – Thanks for taking the time to post a comment and share your thoughts. Please try to attend the fisheries meetings and voice your opinion there too as it and all need to be heard at the state level. They actually listen but have to work within the cuts or liberalizations that they are handed down.

      We all must realize that fisheries regulations/limits will never be what they once were due to many reasons; environmental issues, more anglers (effort) fishing now than ever, mismanagement not many years back and many other factors. I personally focus on the fishing experience and catching. Taking a couple fish home is an added bonus. I think you and your kids will have a blast spending quality family time on the water experiencing the outdoors and ocean.
