We already pitch in for enforcement, its called a fishing license. I don't think the law abiding majority should have to suffer for the unlawfulness of a few. I also would not like to see special seasons for those who can afford to rent enforcement.
The proposed changes in the Sound ling seasons is another example of managing for convienence and not the resource. I am against changing the season for lings based solely on the depts. wish to enforce the laws at its convienience.

Maybe trained volunteer fish checkers and other non enforcement duties could free up some money for more fish cops?
