Simple Fix: Stop looking at bass management as an us -v- them mentality and spread the conservation, slash commercial and recreational takes by 33%, ban netting in known bass transit times/areas (ie Greast South Channel NOW!!!), implement a slot limit, establish 10 year moratoriums of any commercial take of herring / menhaden / mackeral within three miles of coastline. Problem will be fixed in no time, well, 10 years anyway...
Not so simple fix: Everything we do these days...
