Grew up on the coast and fished a LOT with my dad. Lived Rockport during hight school at City By the Sea and fished Estes flats all the time. Fishing sure seemed way easier back then compared to now. Granted, we don't get down nearly enough to be up on current fish patterns but there is also siginifcantly more people fishing now than there was in the 70s and early 80s and that has to take a toll on the population.
