That logic is nonsense. I don't care what the demand is...you stop the fishing (which actually costs little) and squash demand completely.
Take the sb...I am sure there is a demand for sb in the winter but you can't buy it. (But I have some in my freezer). The demand be damned...you can't get sb for christmas in the store.
With regaurd to keeping the rec/comm limit at 2 fish and allow anyone to sell fish instead of the elite recs who comm-it for a month in the summer..why is that so silly? I am not a strong advocate of this but it makes more sence to me then allowing a few guys to take 40 and the rest take 2.
1) The season will last longer, at 1 or 2 fish per angler it is going to take longer to fill the quota.
2) The price will be higher per pound (you will not flood the market with fish)
3) More money will flow into the general economy because there will be more recs fishing (these are the folks who actually spend money..comms spend squat) buying more gear/bait ect...
4) the payout will be spread out among the people who are putting the most into the economy instead of the few who try to minimize what the spend and maximize what they take.
5) The enforcement structure will be simpler: 2 fish XX" period
keepem, sellem whatever.
Personally I am not in favor of any comm fishing for sb whatsoever but I think the above is far more fair then the screwy system they have now
