Every individual has the right and final say to spend his money as he sees fit. We have had an organized effort here in RI by the Party and Charter Boat Assn to hold a private meeting with our state rep without anyone else's knowledge or notification. This is still a representative democracy where the majority elects the representatives to make the laws. Not a private club of lobbyists.
The tackle shops and tackle dealers that make their money and employ people by serving the inshore and shore fishing sectors have been hurt financially, the fly shops and guides have been hurt or are out of business, and a good number of Charter captain's see a stronger long term business plan with the one-fish option. These groups see the push for a two-fish option as a near-sighted organized effort during private meetings putting them out of business as a byproduct of the speculation of a quick buck.
