It is a sad day. But they need to know how many fishermen there are and what they are catching.

I think that if it turns out that there are simply too many fishermen they will simply increase the fees to control the number of fishermen. This gives them more money (read: Power and control) and cuts down on fishermen.

The "black market fishermen" will be huge, there will be an ignorance factor that will be exploited and there is no way this is enforced.

The sad part is we are funding our own demise.

Maybe it is a good thing to cut down on the number of fisherman...only the rich should be able to fish anyway right? No, Obama will create the fair fishing act, and give rebate coupons to the poor funded by the rich guys.


whatacounty.

I just want to go fishing....leave me the hell alone.

So now, if I want to take my wife and 2 kids on a half day trip on Captain John (or some other party boat) its gonna cost me to buy a license, for all of them, for the one time a year I might go fishing ??
In addition to the "fare" and a tip for the mates.
