Jerry,

I am just not one to place blaime on a user group without any proven data. You make statements like ocean overharvest yet have no reliable data to back it up.


It has to do with selective fishing and non-selective fishing. The point is that the rules and allocations are made to protect wild fish not hatchery , yet the commercial fisheries that use nets can not release these native fish unharmed as a sport angler "can". I say "can" because not all practice proper release tech. The over harvest points have been made really clear at many of the CCa meetings that had Gary Loomis speaking . I am not well versed in the topic but did attend many of the early CCA meetings. What a jaw dropper Garys presentation was for me.

I wonder if the attention will ever be taken off the amount of fish harvested and be put towards the method used for the harvesting?

just my .02 flame on



Later...............
