Just finished reading On the Run for the second time. You want to see what the problem is? Look at Oregon Inlet in the winter. Charter takes 4 guys out in the morning and another 4 in the afternoon. They kill 16 20 to 30# fish EVERYDAY on each and every charter boat. We're not even talking about the recs. They probably kill 1/2 million breeder fish every winter. And some nitwit in Mass is worried about circle hooks.  |
Or why not implement the aforementioned proposals ALONG with 1@36".Maybe suggest this to your representative/senator instead of calling someone who has two very good ideas about helping to improve striper mortality rates a nitwit.
