Originally posted by ttaxidermy View PostI agree but seriously it does not take a biologist to realize that our coastal fishery has been in a steady decline for the last 20 years.. Especially for a person who grew up fishing the coast for the last 45+ years..
Fishing at 41, pre-freeze, was better than it was as a kid.. At least where I fish.

I've been busting their lips my whole life. Ups and downs along the way that's for sure...especially after the freezes but I can still get on 'em when I want. Apparently you need me to guide you a little if your fishing is on a " decline ". You got my number

Originally posted by ttaxidermy View PostIMO they should completely shut coastal fishing down from state line to state line for at least a year, and 2 years would be even better.....
Growing up here on the Texas coast it is sad to see what it has become over the years.... More and more boats, more and more "guides" and far less fish.. history has proved that Humans can and will destroy any resource if left unchecked..
I love fishing and eating them but I’d much rather save the ecosystem..probably too late. Especially with shifting base line syndrome. Many think ‘it’s the new normal’.
Hell I release 99.7% of them anyways but even releasing fish has a mortality rate.Last edited by Button; 03-25-2021, 07:22 PM.

With that being said you are kidding yourself if you think it is as good as it once was.. Can we catch them? Yes. But it's a far cry from what it could be.. From what it used to be..

Originally posted by ttaxidermy View PostLol.. And you never will. Why in the hail would I post up pics on the WWW, deer or fish?? It's bad enough to tell a single friend.. I'm all for taking pressure off of the resource, not stepping on the gas. I told 1 fella about a sweet little flounder ditch that I found and the next day he was there along with 2 other boats.. ON A WEEK DAY. Lol.. Shame on me.
