Part of the problem is that folks have come to measure a successful day on the water as a day you limit out, I tend to disagree with this. 6 to 10 is a good mess of fish, specially if they are all over 12 inches. Heck have seen a couple days last year where 2 ole boys from up north came down and caught about 6 each of the 2 days they were here, smallest keeper around 2.5 pounds and the biggest was 2.80, those boys were very excited, iced them dudes down and carried them home to show off, said folks back home would never believe it, every keeper they caught was bigger than anything they had ever caught in their life, puts a different lite on it. We are spoiled!!!!
Rees speaks the truth. The simple fact is a half dozen broad backed slabs will yield more groceries than twice as many smaller fish.

I fish by myself more than anything else, so this is going to sound selfish, but I'd like to see a higher rod per person limit and a rod per boat limit. Fishing with three poles kind of stinks and I wish I could fish with at least four.
