No offense here PBH, I just love a good discussion esspecially when it will help our fisherys, but in my mind I would have to assume that 20 yrs ago fishing was better. In any body of water, just for the simple fact of human population. However, I am what many would call a whipersnapper (24). I do think fishing pressure was lighter 20 years ago as seen my the enormous increase in license sales over the years. With the growing number of fisherman come in over all increase in irresposibilty. Not cleaning your equipment well enough tranporting desease. Don't get me worng I not saying that fisherman are irresponsible as a whole, just the fact that the increase in fishermen brings the bad with the good.
