And guys like you are the reason we have obama, peta, seafood restaurant etc. just becauce you cant catch enough fish to fill up a sarden can dont get mad at me for keeping my god given right fish for supper.
You missed my point…I agree there need to be catch limits…It is you a holes that catch all you can just for fun that need to be controlled…And if you think it is ok to release harmed fish then who is doing it just for the hell of it…If you want to release your 3 great but dont catch more than three and knock others that eat theirs…COMMON SENSe went away long time ago. We need it back.

Optiker has it right- those are some very ignorant comments.
Exactly my point Limits should apply equally to those who fish for eating and those who catch for profit…I mean why should experts(guides) be allowed to kill more than the rest of us???protectionists squeal the loudest when their toes are stepped on…All you guides should stick to your forum andd leave regular recreational guys alone

While I’m sure that not 100% of fish released survive, I am sure that 100% of fish kept don’t!
Toppyblue and Treedog don’t get it. They believe a resource is there to be exploited and the rules don’t apply to them.
They’re the type of people who spend their whole paycheck as soon as they get it then complain that they can’t afford anything.
On the other hand, I believe a majority of posters here do believe that we have a responsibility to manage and protect our marine resources which includes some self discipline.
I guess you are one of those guys that go out and catch 50,brag about it,take pictures release them thinking you are a great conservationist…If the redfish could think and talk who would they consider ignorant??? nuf said.

Bonecrusher???
Insinuations and name calling???paychecks??? responsibility??? So when you are wrong you start throwing names and making untrue accusations??? Limits and rules are absolutely essential and I always follow them…It is just plain stupid to catch and release 12 fish just to keep 3.Ludicrous! Put, simply the same limit should apply to all,released or kept…Catch 3 and go home with or without them!
I mean really???It is ok to catch and release 10,or 20 or 30 or 50??? Then call someone ignorant for just wanting to keep six to eat??

Wow- this thread just jumped from Inshore Reports to Inshore Discussion. That had to have been the moderators doing…
It seems like we have some extreme views and it’s entertaining. My personal point of view is that I enjoy fishing and catching and most of the time only bring home what my wife and I can eat that night at dinner. I don’t need to fill my freezer and I’m not going to stop fishing because it might offend the fish I release.
I am no fish expert or bioligist but I know this about limits. When I was growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s in the ACE Basin you could catch Spottails in large quantities very easily. We did just that - everybody did to the point of in the 80’s and into the 90’s you couldn’t find them anywhere. Well sometime in the 90s the first limits came out and then adjusted (refined) several time after that. Now we call them Redfish and once again you can catch them with some degree of regualarity and the quality of the fish much improved. This tells me that humans (us) are not smart enough, or discplined enough, or too selfish (however you look at it) to police ourselves to not exploit what we love to the point of not having it anymore. When I fish and I get the limt - I keep the limt. I strictly follow the slot. Sometimes would I like more than 3? - yes. But following the guidelines that seem to be working so well are far more important to me than desimating our fishery again. I want future generations to enjoy these fish just like I have been able to do.

Alot of wisdom in those words!
Interesting thread. I share mdl5155’s beliefs and only keep what I’d eat for diner that night. Most of the time, I don’t keep any inshore fish at all. I fish because I enjoy it and it’s relaxing. I’m not fishing to survive. I’ve seen all types out there including the idiots that keep over/under slot fish. It’s disturbing. People like that need to be reported to learn a lesson. Nobody here is above the law. The sense of entitlement you see today is sickening. If you don’t like the rules, do something about it. Contact your representatives etc.
