Good post Anglin'. I realize that the nets are in no way the only problem with lack of fish. I think one reason that people dislike them so much, is because it happens much closer to us. I'm sure that if I lived where the commercial boats came in, i would probably complain about them as much as i do about nets. This is the reason why in my post, I pointed out that the effects on fish was not my main problem. I wanted to give you credit on what you said, but my opinion is still the same as before.
