Ist you can't just ask the majority to give more to the minority to shut them up.just adds another arguement.size and number might have the most leeway for discussion.As far as user groups and those that make a livin with well it's a very broad base. From the guide to the deli all are stake holders.Commercial taking of the fish is at best a side line or a short term part time job.the gas station that sell the gas we use has a larger economic hurt by the loss of the species and it's broad base monitary affect than either tackle shops or charter businesses.But all have to kept in thought as far as the effect of what ever we choose.Most sportfishermen really don't keep a lot of fish but cumulatively the catch is huge.Like one charter boat compared to coastwide . to get the best benefit for the fish what ever is done has to be perceived by both as fair and realistic.
How about ist if we try to get a list of as many clubs,tackleshops,charters,commercial guys and groups such as CCA,RFC,Stripers Forever and so on along with the tournaments to one create a mailing list and a way to get both input and distribute questions.
On top a good computer type that has a clue in how to make both the info and the web work for the same positive goal. Keeping striped bass from going down the same path as back in the 70's an 80's.
LOL Probably one of the younger types LOL that speaks computerese.
