Some people here are quick to point out the obvious...that a lot of economic gain comes from sportfishing..........................I'm not disputing that, in fact it seems pretty obvious. I mentioned that we are largely talking about a lot of people spending discretionary cash...and the point there is that they who have that discretionary cash are still going to be spending it even if there was no fishing season at all. That in no way implies that I want to see less sportfishing opportunities. When the sporties spend less, then a large percent of that cash will just enter a different sector...the same day !
