Mike;
I think they said it was ruled unconstitutional to ban out of state boats (I think they tried in the 70's and failed) but the daily cap per boat of 75k lbs will keep the large boats away; not enough money to be made.

Raider Ronnie, I for one would rather see one purse seine than 100 gillnets, especially if I was a guy who went snagging every morning for bass bait!

As far as the other concerns, everyone has their opinion, I went to the meeting to hear the science and policy being used. I'm just reporting back as best I can.

Mike;
One of the hardest pills to swallow for me regarding this bill (besides all the BS 'science' being thrown around) was the hypocrisy of exactly that; guys who have taken bait from them (Ark) and then signing the petitions and such to ban them. Can't have your cake and eat it to! If I was Jerry I would tell every sport boat to ---- off if they came looking for bait!
