Our government sold access to the fishing grounds under our control in
exchange for those countries purchasing wheat and beef from the prarie
provinces. Then when the prarie provinces found oil and the fish stocks had
declined.... they told the east coast provinces to go "freeze in the
dark". The remaining fishing areas were quickly overfished to the point they
had to place the cod under protection. It destroyed the lives of many people
here who had been telling the government to stop and had curtailed their own
fishing.

Fishin' is fishin... I do it to catch fish... not for the pleasure. No catch
and release, if you don't want to eat them ... leave them the **** alone.
I'm totally opposed to commercial fishing by large corporations... same
thing goes with farming.

Same here. I like to eat fish, its good for you. And since I live on a
boat it makes since to collect my own fresh seafood, than to pay some
Vietnam refuge to do it for me. Sailboat are the best platform for
offshore trolling .

I agree that commerical fishing needs to be taken out. Commerical
farming is the answer. One of the best links ever posted on ASA was by
Capt. Neal. It was called baseline IIRC. I seen just in the last 20 yrs
a steep decline in large fish. Yall need to see if you have oil off
your coast and put in some drilling rigs, they are great for the
underwater sealife.

If anyone recall Capt. Neals excellent link please re-post it.

We've got oil and natural gas off the coast.... some major rigs... but way
out to sea on the banks... not close to shore. Major seas as well as
icebergs make it an expensive and dangerous situation.
