Mako , There are loads of laws out there that are tweeked and improved all the time. when one doesn't do as it's supposed to you fix it.you like many of us spends loads of time on the water. Sad part is we never see any of these so called science advisors or scientist out there. we know more than many of them ever could as we see whats there and not just from a computer screen.LOL we have fisheries law an a lisence yet I've seem 1 DEM 0fficial in 12 yrs.
As far as public information documents well -LOL- many are intentionally set up so that most couldn't understand them. Almost like lawyers have done to our legal system with legalise.The system needs to be fixed . IT IS NOT WORKING AS IT WAS SET UP TO DO.We need to fix it before someone in an office that has never walked a beach at night and seen the comercials pull up to draggers and off load striper during the com seasom to sell and split the money.Or been on the Canal and watch the xtra trips taken home with fish to keep multiple catches in the same day.The numbers are a sad guess at best. No where's close to being close to real.
Look at the Derby this year. Over 3000 entrants. 32 or more weigh in slots between shore,boat,fly rod and juniors and mini's a day for striped bass. 487 stripers weighed in for the whole 30 day plus Derby.Ms Tourney over 100 anglers and only 13 fish including blues over the weekend.These numbers are not listed as they weren't tabulated by scientist. They only use what numbers justify the political ajenda of the poletician in charge wants.I work for the state of Maine we see it all the time. Figures lie and liars figure.they read the fishing reports and use those numbers . LOL we all know how accurate those are.The system needs to be fixed. The fishing coastwide proves it not what a couple sharpies see hear n there.
Our fisheries laws have all but destroyed one fisherie after another. Time to fix it.
