[quote name='ahgigi' post='10145' date='Mar 28 2008, 10:20 PM']I have been fishing for scup/sea bass around the Mass water in the last 10 years. I can attest that scup fishing has been degrading in the last few years. I have seen charter buses from NY/NJ area and come here load 'em up here. I remember just a few years ago the limit was 9" and you can keep 100 fish. I thought that was "too generous" and I had seen people loaded up a cooler full of 9" or 10" fish. It doesn't suprise me the situation we are in now.
I am seriously thinking about going to R.I. party boat this year to catch scup. From 6/1 - 8/31 you can keep 25 fish (10.5" min) and 9/1 - 10/31 you can keep up to 60.[/quote]
Yeah thats a good idea. Although, I been fishing scup/black bass. For a few years myself. I notice them getting fewer also. But they are getting pretty large. I go fishing for them near Marthas Vineyard Area.
