Plunker, I certainly am in favor of this fishery. I am a member of the WSC, but I do not have the right to speak for them. That said the WSC was founded originally to try to protect fisherys like this one. You also said 1/4 of the fish you hook with spoons and spinners are potentially mortally wounded while rarely so plunking bait or not. Why are you the only angler this is true for? You said you have even hooked fish in their stomach with spoons and spinners, I don't mind a little bs here and there,but this out and out lyins gotta stop. I'm sure you feel that if there is a 100 fish surplus you would rather have that 100 whacked and brought home by 100 anglers in 5 days than have a fishery 2 months long for all to enjoy and have much less impact on the fish. I've shown you the numbers. Even your "vast number of experts" agree, this fishery is a good one. I will post no more on this subject as no amount of research or scientific data can stand up to your opinion, to you.
