surecatch...here I go agreeing with you again. The commission is pretty protective of its bias towards commercial fishing. Showing up at a commission meeting is the best medicine. Take notes, tape record what they say, take pictures...publicize their comments about how the economics of sports fishing have no bearing on their decisions because the legislature mandates a "viable" commercial fishery. Kind of like propping up a viable buffalo hunting operation. They get pissed when alot of sport fishers show up at meetings but they can't do a damn thing about it. You have a right to speak at the meetings but they will try to stifle you. Perserverance is what we need. Stay in their faces in great numbers and then work on your legislators. Changing the laws is next.
