Yes, this letter seems nothing more than a grab written by some people from the boat sector.

Of course the letter doesn't mention the passing of fish from boat to boat that takes place. Have seen this more than a few times where the fleet is.

Malee days at the canal are no different than the fleet of 300 boats at the hotspot biomass.

This really unfairly penalizes the shore comm angler.

If it was that much of a concern just ban the canal to comm fishing. But why penalizes a shore comm angler that found there own honey hole. This is nothing more than a potential group grab.
