Whenever there is a thread about a commercial fishery hauling in loads of fish on the beach and we voice our concerns about it, we get hit by a few that state "as recreational fishermen, we do more damage than those guys". See how dangerous statements like that are? We need to stand together and protect our rights. Clearly protecting these commercial fisheries will ultimately be at our own expense. I will rather oppose these commercials and protect our rights, you can't play both fields.
Now some will see why I feel the way I do about some of the 'traditional fisheries' in our country.
BTW - good work Barryfish
