Puleye .. NC regs in state waters fall on NC to control...Yes they do have a long way to go if they allow culling...

JohnnyD you really wanna go down this road with me??? we dont blame TREE HUGGERS.. actually we place blame where it belongs..bad science its been proven!!! mor then once.. If you dont fish comm maybe you should sit and talk with some REAL ones who know whats goin on in the industry before eatin everything your spoon fed media wise.. $$$ for fishermen??? from th egoverment??? umm yea a loan program to buy a boat!! In an industry where they are puttin us outta business... Dr. Jane Lupencheco or what ever her last name is.. HEAD OF NOAA... founder o fthe PEW Ocean Comitee... How far ya wanna go man seriously?? We can go back in forth all day long on this.. One question tho how can you say "overfishing" when we are cut to 28 days a year with very strict weight limits of 1500 for 15 hours which is ONE day of fishing not 24... hmm woul dlove to see some of the people who bang so hard on the comm guys on here have to do half the stuff we do just to work.. better yet id like to see yall pay your bills on 28 days a YEAR... with productivity limits.. Im very tired of the industry my family has been involved in since 1661 (PROVEN) bein hammered on when I cant even get through a crowd of illeagals or "gangsta" or non english speakin people at a spot.. No lIcenses no common sence just killin fish for fun.. hmm 20 ignorants per spot and that is bein kind on estimate vs a DIEING INDUSTRY.. hmmm reall who does more damage????
