Folks may not like it but my position is 1 fish 36" NO COMMERCIAL. There are plenty of people who are selling their fish at the back door with no license, and others who catch more than they are allowed and pass them on to other license holders who sell them for a cut. At some point we have to look at the value of the fishing and not the value of the fish caught.
I am planning on Mass. and maybe R.I.

So go to the Mass Meeting.

We can write letters and maybe have an impact, we can go to the meeting and maybe have an impact, we can go to the meeting AND write a letter and maybe have more of an impact, or we can beyotch about it here and have zero impact

- even though we may feel we have done something we probably haven't.
