Imagine how things would be if commercial fishing of all sorts were stopped completely. No harvesting of any species of fish for any commercial reasons. Could you imagine how good the fishing would become, just after the first year or two? It would be incredible. Every species of fish would thrive in off the chart numbers. Every fishing trip would be filled with fish, no matter how bad the conditions were.
Offcourse i'm in dream land right this second, but what a great dream it would be.
I remember when I was a little boy, walking down the pier in Myrtle beach with my fishing pole in my hand, I knew I was going to catch something. But that was then, and the feeling I get walking down a pier or heading through the inlet in my boat is much different now. IT's a feeling of uncertainty. The conditions could be perfect and you are doing everything right, and you still might not catch a thing. THe fish just aren't there like they use to be.
