An election must be approaching---"give a dribble to the peons". Nothing changes until ALL clubs, boards, etc. flood them with petitions to make Striped Bass, Bluefish, Weakfish, etc. GAME FISH. The money involved for sportfishing is a positive flow (money comes in )---the money for commercial fishing is a negative flow (money goes out--buy outs, subsidies, etc.).But until they feel that the VOTES are more numerous in the sportfishing sector--nothing will ever change.
