Re: The Collapse of the Gulf of Mexico Grouper Fishery
Most people have no idea how bountiful the Gulf used to be. They think you have to run a minimum of 40 miles to catch decent fish. We used to troll Rapalas for Gags in the Bay. (1997-2000) This was...

Re: Why was the Gulf of Mexicos grouper fishery allowed to collapse?
We've seen the grouper population all around decrease significantly in the last 10 years. More people fishing is the obvious reason why there are less fish but why was this allowed to happen?

With as much roundup and fertilizer that gets put on every lawn near the coast I don't think algae blooms that kill fish are just a summer thing anymore.
