I can honestly say I have fished off the rocks and in the canal my whole life and I suck at it . I have not had the pleasure ,as many in this thread have , of participating in the massacres at the canal.

sure have...not my favorite way to fish(not a canal guy either)...not sure how my tune has changed..looking for equal treatment for all recs...think the "special interests" need to show an actual need if they want special treatment rather than just giving blanket additional benefit to a segment of the recs(on for-hires) because their representatives scream the loudest or have well placed friends.... but I very much appreciate how hard those guys work in often tough conditions and having the responsibility of the lives and safety of their charters...if i have a "jealousy" it would be over their ability to be on the water frequently. tell me why my solution would not work, there only a couple of caveats, and satisfy all interests and how this economy surrounding the charter business would be adversely affected? I'm happy to cede a second fish(giving you what you ask for) to a "real" client (who doesn't have to opportunity to fish often and might not without a second bass) of a "real" charter (who believes and demonstrates that the second fish is essential to the survival of his business) ...as was pointed out...there's probably lots of pretenders out there who will benefit from two fish who probably shouldn't if there is an exemption granted all charters and it sounds like they're easy to spot
... as well as many who say they don't want that second fish but might be or feel obligated
