On 3 Jun 2005 13:18:23 -0700, wrote: While the following press release is primarily addressing commercial fishing, the phrase "large areas cold be declared off limits to trawling and other activities" may have some repercussions for sports fishermen: Media Advisory Contact: Kathleen Goldstein, Environmental Defense, 202-841-0295 Pacific Fishery Management Council to Address Critical Fishery Management Issues ~~ snippage ~~ Is the Pacific Fishery Management Council the agency charged with regulating, controlling and establishing fisheries quotas or is this council an invention of the Environmental Defense Fund? Later, Tom I have been out fishing on Lake Erie with a mass of walleye showing on the fish finder and close to some nets set up by commercial fishermen. We caught our limit and returned to the same spot the next day....no fish. We moved. No fish. We moved again...several times....no fish. Go figure. Try to take a boat ride from Huron to Cedar Point or Sandusky Bay without running into commercial nets in the water....they are everywhere. We need to limit the number of pounds of fish commercial fishermen harvest. If I recall Canada has not set up any such restrictions on commercial fishing in the Great Lakes and they are raping our Lake of fish. Without these restrictions we can kiss any sort of recreational fishing goodbye. So I welcome any studies and restrictions on fishing limits, most especially those aimed at commercial fishing operations. |
