MSBA Response to SB By Catch Reports

[CaptMike]

I'm going to send emails and make phone calls. Is there anything else I can do to help?

Every year this happens out there. I saw the carnage out there the last three years and have pics somewhere of the end game of the draggers/trawlers. Sad really sad. This year there were fish floating that would make most proud to say they have caught. Destruction of a fishery for no other reason than money. It sucks.

Keepr and all,

I need every stiory in writing with dates and locations. I need any pic anyone has on a disk or hard copy with letters of permission to use. Anything with the actual boats in the pics is even. We (those that represent you) have something cookingthat will call major attention to this issue. Stay aware of what you see out there as this situational discard will continue for another month and soon you will all see what happens when certain forces combine to make real noise.
