I got nothing against people who fish according to todays regulations. i got nothing against people who fished long ago according to whatever regs were in place in those days. People who take fish outside the law should be educated then turned in if they persist in breaking the law. Its pretty cut and dry to me.
Now , the subject of the regulations themselves is something I'm not happy with. As John has mentioned above , 40 fish per day per boat in Mass is not good for the fishery. The massisve loads of small fish allowed in Maryland and other southern states is not good for the fisheries. That means we need to get on the case of the regulators , not the guys fishing under those regulations.
