If you're thinking the way I think you are, I feel the same way.
The way I feel about Opening Day is discontinue trout season for most places. Make many rivers TMA so you can fish it year round. Lakes and ponds that get stocked but still have a good population of other freshwater fish should be made into some sort of management area that prohibits that taking of and fishing for trout during a certain time of year. If most rivers were to be made into TMA, only certain areas should be because you have the caring fishermen at one section and the early bird poachers in another.
If bluefish were to grow as big as giant bluefins, then there would be nothing left out there except for blues!
