Minibear, I'm with you 100%. It is common knowledge that the sportsmen and women put MUCH more $$$ into the local economy than do the commercials. What will it take for the gov't to figure that out?!! Think of the TAXES they are losing Ohhh, maybe that's the key, explain the extra revenue wish it was that easy! My inlaws are here, I'm missing out on what's left of the fishing, and my buds (GutZ, fishslayer75, and shutupandNET) were down there today calling me on the cell, saying, fish4steel---wish you were here!
