I fish off the west coast and its the same thing-too many people trying to regulate something they have never come down to the ocean to look at first hand-just sit in their office 1000 miles from the ocean and try to decide how to manage the fisheries.
Everyones first question for me is -"Oh,your a fisherman,hows that going?Do you ever catch anything?Or think im some juggernaught that catches and kills everything that comes near the boat.
Most of our fisheries are very well managed,and we actually had the best year ever as far as return # go for a few different fisheries-despite what they report on the news(happy news doesnt get ratings)
um,i could go on,but ,sorry im getting of topic.
