1/9/03 FISHERMAN PG 2R "CONSERVATION WATCH"
 

Al Ristori gives you the status and thoughts on ASMFC meeting and thoughts on rec's and commercials...

As much as I am opposed to commercial sb fishing of ANY kind...I still plan to obtain my license fish it for a year and take LOTS of photographs of these guys in action and tell the truth about what is really going on. (I will probably have a hit man looking for me when I am done )

This whole thing is about a few so-called fisherman being able to make $ off the bass is sick IMO. I hope to exploit what this cheap licence allows....MA should be asshamed to bend to the whims of a few commercials who think they the state owes them something for having limits on the fish in past years. We should be happy the fish is back and keep the pressure OFF the species not crank it up to past standards and limit rec's

I am amazed that some political type does not adopt this as one of his/her platform...there are a lot of rec fisherman/voters in this state.
