Good post.....It's not everywhere and there are still fish and in some cases and area's it's still good to at times great. But there are areas that use to be great that are now dead and so on.
I do agree with what you said and it was a nice caviat to add to this thread and makes me feel a little better about the future but I still have bigtime concerns...
