...the adgendas of AR groups, other trust sponsored groups, and greed of resource based corporations are real........to think otherwise is keeping one's head in the sand.........their "cause" is to reduce/eliminate the recreational/commercial utilization of our fishery resources...no doubt some of the targeted practices have merit--but don't be fooled....the trawler guy might be at the head of the list of some groups(trusts, eco's, AR) actions-yea might be good news for the R&R anglers(both comm & rec)for the short run..but/however, this is but one domino at the head of the list)....with the mega corporations targeting the removal of the day/short trip commercial fisherman-and taking over the total commercial landings.........we better pay attention to these real threats......
..part of the solution is/are :strong local rec & comm fishing clubs/org....full participation in local hearings/meetings of fishery management..local, state., and Federal.........all the above real threats to fishing have/are well organized and financed.........
