It was tough catching big fish in the gill net days. I lived in Cameron for 35 years and
I saw the fishing going down and down and down. I had a lot of friends gill netting
that told me that it wasn't their nets. I kinda believed them until about 2 or 3 years
after the ban. The Redfish and Flounder started getting bigger and bigger and the
Specks started getting a lot more plentiful.
Now it is easier to find fish, but finding a stringer like that is not. I don't have
the patience to fish and fish and fish until I had a mess like that. After 4 or 5 like
big'ns, I would be heading in to heat up the grease.
