#1 - I'll bet that all things considered, this site would be better off if we didn't use it as a soapbox to propose illegal actions in the name of recreational activity. As much as we cherish the right to fish, I think we diminish any public support we might have if we go off like a bunch of irresponsible teenagers and destroy someone else's property.

Just because we don't like that fact that they have a legal right to do something we can't, and it cuts into our sport, doesn't justify your proposed actions, especially in the eyes of people (the majority) that don't sport fish and in most cases don't give a rip about the resource.

#2) I wonder where the money comes from to pay for those nets destroyed by malicious acts? Could it be federally insured? I don't know, but the potential irony there would be pretty harsh.
