Ok,
I'm gonna stay in this one....
1st...Individual Commercial Lic is $35 not $25 but still is cheap
2nd...for those that are suggesting that getting sb commercial lic is a way to take more than the rec limit are leaving out the fact that if you take more than your rec limit under a com lic and do not sell the fish you are in violation of both Federal and State laws...yes their are cheaters in every group, however to indite a whole sector in this way is just wrong....especially when it is those making the aformentioned arguement that casually suggests breaking the law
3rd... Any commercial Rod & reel fisher has to show a prophit within any 3 year period or they can not take any deductions
4th...Yes, new commercial licenses for SB were issued this year
5th...Many on this list are missing the point that at least in MA the SB commercial fishery is geared so that it does not become a mainstreeam commercial fishery....the thought is that mosty recs will care about the fishery as opposed to what we have seen in more mainstream commercial fisheries
6th...I go to almost all of the DMf, NEFMC and this summer am adding the ASMFC meetings...very few recs attend, but the officers of some of the largest clubs & conservation organizations that attend almost all have one thing in common...most do some Rod & Reel Commercial Fishing...isn't it funny that just that the guys who are getting slammed by some o this list for haveing SB Commercial licenses are the same ones who will be representing a lot of the same people who would rather complain than show up and join the process...facts are getting thrown around this thread that are so off it is is a shame ....example coming
7th...Sb allocation is not just a state to state thing..that statement is not only ignorant it is down right scary considering we are weeks away from the public hearings that will determing the overall Sb management plan for the entire east coast...people should really start learning... then and only then will recs get the voice that they truely deserve
now go ahead ...slam me...just show up on monday or tuesday night at the SB hearings and put your actions where your kleyboards are
