Will,
I think that media attention will likely make a few think "I gotta get out there" and they go and they don't find what they are looking for, so they wait for someone to find the fish again and they go and they don't find what they are looking for. I just fish to fish, usually twice a week, the catching is a big bonus. Even with SD's booming population growth, the only increase that I have seen through the years is kayak fishermen, fishing La Jolla and that does not bother me. Maybe if I was a weekend fisherman I would feel differently. I think that the management of the fishery has brought about an increase in the quality of fish.
Yesterday Jim S and I were the only ones within shouting distance of each other. It was about 70 degrees, sunny and glassy, a perfect day to be fishing. I have always enjoyed telling a good fish story and personally have not felt any backlash from doing so. The bass fisherman's perspective is much different as you are catching resident fish.
Paul did a great job of capturing what an incredible year we had.
