$500 to play. I told you that "free" or "nearly free" lic would not last very long.

What they want to do is "optimize" the amount of money they can get out of the fishermen. They call it determining the "economic value" of the resource( yeah but for whom???)...they think they are not getting their due. They know at some point, 500, 700, 1000 you will just say screw it and go play golf, but what is that point? They would like to determine the "sweet spot" and charge the optimum amount for their maximum gain. They brought in experts now using "innovative" approaches....watch out!!! They have their eye on your wallet!

If they spent half as much energy on trying to protect the resource itself we would not be in this predicament.

THEY ALL NEED TO GO, EVERYONE INVOLVED IN ANY FISHERY DEPT SHOULD BE LET GO, EVERYONE FROM THE TOP DOWN. Start anew and hire some folks with common sense as their primary attribute.
