    I would venture to say that it would be almost impossible for recreational anglers to damage any fishery assuming they stay within their bag limits

    That statement rings true.

    Charleston County is having problems with spottails.

    A thousand charter guys pummeling fish on every point, flat, dock, and oyster rake day in and day out and year round these days.
    Hyping up the “bull red” run at the jetties. Advertising it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter every day.

    What the hell did y’all think would happen?

    The charleston brah transplant model is to move there from wherever they came from, immediately get a real estate license and an inshore charter LLC.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Just because Charleston caused a problem with their fishery doesn’t mean the DNR needs to set further regulations on the entire state.

    The moment you accept a dollar of wage to help someone kill or catch an animal you become wildlife pimp, whoring out the species you claim to love. I don't know if it's greed or ego but I'm sure it's both.

    They survived the blackened redfish craze, they can survive Instagram.

    Ban spot lock trolling motors, similar to mojos/mud motors imo. Bottom fish would thrive again and the big spot tail would be much safer. We create our own problems

    50k/yr pay to play for guide businesses. That will fix this reel quick.

    Let’s just ban fishing. That’ll fix it.

    Data given was state wide, no arguments that it is more acute in certain areas

    I am sure it varies from place to place, but where I have consistently fished for 50 years (year-round),
    I think there are more redfish. I rarely keep one unless a friend asks for one.

    I too think there are more of them.

    But I don’t fish within 45 miles of the harbor.

    Y'all know what the white sharks are feeding on when they are off our coast in the winter right?

    That’s laughable.

    I’ve heard that too. But not sure I believe it.

    Where’s Frazier on this?

    If the tiger doesn’t feed on the cobia that are with him all day, because he can’t catch them, what makes us so sure that a whitey can catch a spottail bass?
