It doesn't sound bad to me...only if that's what it's going to be, then just come and say it and be done with it...don't pretend to be a conservation organization, when what you really want is to take the commercial piece of the pie and add it to yours, and then go fishing.

That's what Smalma is saying above, too...if you want to have any credibility when and if you get a seat at the table, then you have to be honest about what you are doing.

If you say "there shouldn't be any fishing without the hard numbers" in order to prevent overharvest, but then say that it only applies to one user group and not the other, shows that overharvest is not really your concern, but that you get to harvest the fish and not the other guys.

Fish on...
