Tuna From Shore

As was said above, I think Joe's post was a bit of a joke.

MakoMike: You need to start fighting back whenever people complain about plovers and dogfish then. If you're so adamant about regulation then start backing them all.

I complain about the plover and dogfish regs. But just because I don't like them doesn't mean I go out and break them.

I hate them things.

I've caught a few Tuna from shore in my younger days...Oh what a fight.

I just don't understand why NMFS won't issue the same boat permit for shore anglers, as crazy as that sounds. What's the big deal? Shore anglers are far less likely to land a tuna than their boat brethren, NMFS could rake in the bux. Kinda like the lottery.
