Catch your own fish. Or eat beef. Commercial guys rape the
waters.



I agree.

Jim, can I then assume you don't eat any seafood that doesn't come out
of Lake Michigan?
On the end of your personal fishing line?

No Alaska King Crab, Louisiana shrimp, or even tuna fish for you. :-)
Bummer.


NP Chuck. I boat and fish on Lake Erie, not Lake Michigan.

Just because I eat fish does not mean the commercial fishermen are not
raping the waters. They sure are on Lake Erie.


Lake Erie. duh, of course. Zero points to Gould for geography.

So you agree with NOYB that commerical fishermen are raping the waters,
but disagree with NOYB that everybody should catch his or her own fish.
Thanks for the clarification.


I don't think that everybody whould catch his/her own fish. But curbs
need to be imposed on commercial fishing.

The commercial guys take 89% of the grouper out of the Gulf...yet they
keep reducing the limits for recreational anglers.


That makes no sense.



How about yelling at your elected chumps to stop issuing commercial licenses
NOW, so as the fisherman die or retire, there will be less commercial
pressure? I think I read about that already being done elsewhere.
