I think that single barbless hooks in the salt would be a good idea. Better enforcement would be good too...If some of these guys saw people getting tickets for bad fish handling, they'd wise up fast.. I used those de-hookers and had good success.. A good net that minimizes scale loss should be mandatory...better yet...just dehook in the water... I saw much better compliance with private boaters than charters... The charters need more regulation..can you imagine how loud they would complain if they were gettting ticketed? And finally...how can you teach the average citizen to respect the resource when their only experience might be that?
