Subject: RE: BS: Should fish be sought?
I assume that you do not fish with nets, but are a sport angler using some form of line.
If you are, I doubt that you would have a great deal of impact on overall fish stocks. As numbers decline, the remaining individual fish would become more difficult to catch on a line.
The main problems of overfishing are due to indiscriminate fishing using nets which remove ALL sizes of fish, and do not allow the smaller ones to reach maturity and breed.
