That is precisely the type of faulty logic that is going to isolate us. They are
NOT "our fish." They belong to everyone and everyone is entitled to use the resource. You can bet you bottom dollar now with the salt water license and the bad economy, that if we continue to make those kind of arguments, someone is going to decide that it time for the public to stop paying for managing this resource and your going to wind up with a $50 - 100 a year special "striper tag" to be able to fish for them.
