I'm really surprised at the responses to this thread, particularly by the fact that no one seems to notice the obvious - B10 is so loaded up with guide boats that private fishermen can hardly find room to launch their boat or fish. Maybe I'm being selfish, but I happen to like the fact that saltwater at least is one place where I can be somewhat assured of having a patch of water to fish in. All the blatant disregarding of the charter law by guide boats going on down there was leaving very few patches to fish in this last week. Personally, I'd rather see limited entry for all guides, not just charters - I happen to think that there are too many guide boats on all our waters. And I think that guide licensing requirements should include boating safety and first aid training, regular drug testing, and other types of requirements similar to those of chauffers and commercial drivers. And anyone with a criminal record and especially any fish and wildlife violations on their record should be excluded from consideration forever. Apologies in advance to those who will flame me for proposing more layers of bureaucracy, and especially to all the guides who obviously should oppose my views for economic reasons, but as I said earlier, maybe I am being selfish in my view that our sportfish should be for recreation and not for profit.
