Gillnets Killing Us
Well,
The word lately is that the nets are so thick, it is hard to get a jig down without getting hung up on that great piece of bottom east of Boston. We had some great fishing there but it may all be a memory if we can't drop a line. I wish there was a way the recreational anglers, commercail jig fisherman, longliners and gillnets could work together to come up with a solution that benefits all users. This resource (cod) should not belong to a single user group because the other groups can not fish through their gear. I plan on contacting the DMF, Director and ask what can be done. After all we are all paying for licences, fees, and permits weather it is a boat registration, charter endorsement or commercial permit to harvest these same fish.
