Nice Heads up, Basic!
Thank you and will email and phone ASAP!!!
What are these A Holes thinkin? Thinkin'....................oh yeah, that would require intelligence and a scope of interest broader than one's lobbiest infested wallet. It most certainly would require these Committee members to consider future ramifications, digest present data, and research the past results of the moratoriums that are in place and working rather effectively.
Prolly too much for them to entertain in their miopic brains.................ya know, doing what's right for the environment, the fishery, and us~ the Constituency of the Commonwealth. Hell, the committee members aren't even elected are they? Coincidence that the chair of the committee to protect our fisheries is pro commercial? I THINK NOT!!
NOW, IS MOST DEFINITELY THE TIME TO STAND, SHOUT, AND SHOW our elected officials that we do not now, nor will we ever support this enfringement on a targeted species and a forage species at that!!! How else will they know that we care if we remain silent? The potential for present and future fisheries damage from a myriad of prospectives, the least of which is the bycatch devastation, is astronomical at worst and immeasurable at best!
This is akin to playing Russian roulette with an effectively managed forage whose abundance is direct evidence of the positive results gained by proactive conservation and management ~NOT, I REPEAT,
NOT ~ reason to impose lesser management, looser conservation in the vein of "we've fixed it, so now let's try to break it!" by loading the roulette gun with all of the bullets.
And what is this crap about 15 days cut down to 8 days as if they are doing us a favor? The lesser of two evils need not apply here!! How's about ZERO days like before. What gives a handful of men the right to effect so many other men's lives simply because they won't work a little harder, dig a little deeper, and stay outta our inshore waters?
If the species is so hearty, stay out of the harbors and off of the shores BEEEOTCHEZ!!! Go deep, kill ya a coupla Giant Reds and be done wid it!!! Sarcasm aside, how's about diversifing your catch? If they changed our fisheries management, to a man, none would flinch and would comply wholeheartedly......for the preservation of our beloved STRYPER!!
