I vote to shut it down completely for a year, but as stated before it has to be closed across the board, what is good for one is good for all.
Tough call though because even if everyone here, on every other site, and anyone that fishes voted to close it I'm sure somewhere along the line someone would get their pocket greased to keep it open.
Just the way it works from where I see it!
Stocks cannot rebound if more and more fish are taken every year, regardless of the species. I think nets should be outlawed on fishing boats, give them a rod and reel, let them do it our way and see how the stocks do. I see it as greed to so called fish for a living, there's other ways to make a living.
My opinion is catch all the fish you can now (legally) because in the near future there won't be any fish left to catch, everything gets taken out of the water and nothing gets put back, the stocks are doomed to collapse.
