I agree with some of yall I think it's more of a pressere thing.I also agree with slabin's last post,I hear too many a limit is a limit,tailgate pic's and such.I like to catch a limit also but when I head out for a day of fishing I'm just looking to catch a mess for supper.What are some thing's they could do to reduce some of the pressure?I'm gonna offer a few ideas and I'm sure I'll get some grief and not bashing anyone's way of fishing.Raise license fees both instate and out of state I'd say at least double in state and triple out of state our out of state license fees are some of the lowest in the country,but this will never happen because they (our law makers)are more worried about $$$$ than resources.Go to single pole will never happen due to $$$$ involved.Go back to possission limit when I was a kid seemed like there was a poss. limit like in duck hunting a 30 fish daily limit but a 60 fish poss. limit or like someone else said cut the transport limit down from 7 to 2 agin $$$ comes into play.I don't like the season idea but here you go single pole Jan. thru May, troll,pull crank's the rest of yr.
