New bass regs. Would it have been better to...?
#41
[quote zman2]...here is a fact bass fishermen spend more than 70 percent of the total sales in a given year for the local economy... a 60 thousand dollar boat and 200 dollars at the tackle store every week and gas for a weekend.... Im sorry the bottom line is bass fishermen finance most of the fishing here and across the country.....check em out yourself Quit whineing about bass fishing we are funding your slimers for ya[/quote]


Can you provide some documentation to prove that?



FWIW -- flyfishermen aren't exactly "cheapies". They spend a lot of money on rods, lines, and other gear. They spend a lot on gas, lodging, and food traveling around to fish lots of waters. Bass anglers are not the god-send for fishermen. Economies would probably be just fine without them. But, that isn't to say that we don't want them. I love fishing for bass. I typically do it with fly rod. I love the look on those bass tournament guys face when they find out I'm catching more smallies at Minersville than they are!
