you make a lot of good points, it's about teaching and changing the culture more than railing "1@36" and "gamefish status" which have had little or no effect apparently on both the regs and the culture.....most of the local clubs have a couple of monthly meetings before the season starts and shops and show exhibitors are gearing up..... I'd guess that for many the focus is on how to hammer more fish rather than conservation and good fishing practices, everyone wants to point out how everyone else has it all wrong when the best way to long term improvement begins with individuals and the people that they interact regularly and how they view their part in all of this rather than regulations and pontifications. A lot of the obvious problems have been mentioned and in most cases they'll be improved sooner through a culture change rather than hoping for some magical change in status and in the long run, whether the concerns are overblown... or if a problem does exist and there is a significant rebound, an improved culture will help sustain it rather than simply run it right back into the ground....or sea....as it were
