This for years now has been exactly my opinion. In my case I usually wait a week or two to fish as the best boat ramps are normally crowded, especially on nice days. At this point many of the thousands of stocked fish are caught.
Did you ever go the ramp at Highland Lake right after the season opens and there has been recent stocking? There are numerous people fishing, without licenses I suspect, taking all the fish they can get in disregard of the limits.
I would like a constant and healthy population of fish in our state waters.
