rojo, what you are saying is correct, and when I've said it in the past it gets ignored just as much as it is now.

For some reason folks continue to stroke the fantasy that the sportfishers are so damn cool that the commercials and tribes will just have to give us more of their impacts, and they'll just have to go "selective" and then they'll just have to give them to us...when the almost certain result is that if the commies go more selective, not only will they harvest more hatchery fish per impact, they'll get a lion's share of the impact, too.

If you enjoyed the last decade of springer fishing, I hope you enjoyed it well...cuz even as tough as it has been some times, it's a lot better now than it's ever going to be again if this gets implemented.

Fish on...
