Yeh, but how much were the scientists ignored or wrong on occasion or basing decisions on innaccurate data? How many times did some fisheries managers bend but not break and give in only to have Teddy, John, or Olivia step in on their behalf and and apply a political squeeze?

When the general public hears the plight of the lo fisherman they understandably want to help the guys out. But the general public gets filtered info in the paper and does not get as much skinny as we do. Shheeeet, as a group we probably have 90% more and better info than Joe NonAngler aand we can't even agree on WTH to do

I'm shutting up for at least a few hours, I wore a hole in my ^#$**# soap box...

what that article says to me, is that the feds have no clue how to solve our fishery problems. instead of making difficult decisions that would hurt at first but be better for everyone (including the fish) in the long run, they just shift the problems to another area where more small boat fisherman will be hurt.
