I replied to this because in my opinion, exposing bites is harmful to our fishery.
You said there are plenty of fish to go around. If that were true, the state of California would not have imposed so many catch regulations and now closures.
It's just my opinion, no need for name calling and hating me for it.

No name calling here, but there's a slight smell of MLPA in the air, to me.
You admit you don't participate, fish our waters, or have anything to offer. Why post here at all? Oh, yeah, you enjoy reading about the fine fish the locals catch.
Regulations have been around for decades, both commercial and sport, that IS what keeps many species plentiful, i.e. WSB.
Just because someone posts a recent report or bite, doesn't mean this "exposing bites" is going to be harmful to the fishery. Anglers must still abide by size and quantity limits, which is why the regulations are in place, to keep the fishery healthy. New regs happen all the time, and should to correct imbalances as they occur. We don't have to go mum, to keep it that way.
