re: Speck Decision Already Made

I believe The biologists numbers on rec harvest. Every guide boat fishing where I have been catching the last two weeks of taking g limits. Most are fishing 5 per boat guide included for a 50 fish avg times x# of boats per fishing day. No engineering degree required to count the numbers taken weekly/daily, it’s staggering. 170 flounder taken in area I fished Sunday morning, same or more Saturday.
Take 10 boats with 3 clients taking 45 fish 7 days per week for 6 months = 75,600 trout. Avg # of guide boats daily 20-25 variable would be weather/water. Some boats would take 60 some less than my hypothetical # and some 75.
We are better killers now than 15 years ago and 20 years ago. Cell phones, faster boats, better bait allow many avg guys the ability to kill fish.
