Sickening!

Just like High grading for fluke in the Sound.

I wish someone would start a fund to finance private boat owners to anchor in mass in the ares the pair trawlers are fishing to make it impossible for the trawlers to get to the schooling fish. There seem to be enough people who care and I am sure they could generate plenty of support/dollars.

I wonder if a kayak challenging them would make the news and perhaps garner support from the general public to end the carnage, maybe I should take one for the team and get out there after the winds settle.
