The criticizm of the captain's anchoring may or may not be justified here but something that strikes my attention is that only 2 ling were caught!!! I have seen a drop in the bottom fishing catches over the past few years both through my own experiences and the reports of catches in the paper and through my name being on the email list from the Jamaica in Brielle. What is going on? I have only been bottomfishing for about 12 years in NJ since I am only 25 years old but I can see a huge drop in the numbers even in my limited years of fishing. This greatly concerns me as I wonder how the fishing will be in another ten years. I just wanted to voice my obsevation and concern for the future of our sport. Good Luck To All! |
