If I had a Crystal ball and could see into the future, and saw with certainty that having a closed fishery of all kinds for say 5 years would make the fishing absolutely %$%$%$%$ing amazing, Id hand in all my gear. The problem that I have is that what is happening is all smoke in mirrors... the ocean is about to be taken over by corporate fishing vessels owned by larger corporations. The first step in this plan is to tell everyone that fishing has to stop... the 2nd step is to watch all of the small family owned boats fold and the 3rd is to divide the fish amongst those who are left. I believe we are on step 3 right now. Sector based fisheries managment has set the stage for this. Watch.
