I usually have a lot to say on these matters, but the whole thing is just so frustrating I think I'm going to try to not give a #^&#^&#^&#^&. 80% of rec fishermen just don't care about the resource and the 20% that do are outnumbered and shot down by the guys with $ to lose. The shortsightedness of these 'take now, worry later' guys is very discouraging.
I also think that the decision has already been made and these meetings are just for show. I have sent my share of emails to the appropriate ASFMC members and others, FWIW.
As far as the canal gluttons, I once thought these types were the minority. I have to admit I was wrong. Fishing ethics is pretty much nonexistent. The 'if it's legal to do it, I'm doing it" mantra has won out.
