Here's Step 1 in the plan, which has been clicking along pretty well for the last decade:

Make the commercial seasons shorter and shorter, with less and less fish to catch, until even the most diehard or tax shelter-seeking commercial fishers can't afford to do it.

Giving them a way to make more money, while taking fish directly from the sportfishers and the businesses that depend on sportfishing, is so counterproductive that "sportfishermen" advocating for it would be a really, really funny joke...were it not, sadly, true.

Fish on...
