I defineately want to know their position on how they feel commercial fishing vs sport fishing impacts the local economies. There is no doubt in my mind that sport fishing generates more $ per fish than does a commercial trickle down fishery.
Their position on commercial license buy back programs.
Their position on how they see the hatchery systems enhancing fishing opportunities.
Their position on marking all hatchery fish and the funding to make it happen.
Their position on different types (trawler, trolling, gill net, purseiners)of commercial fishing and how each has its own specific impacts on the species targeted.
Their position on how the lobby money of the commercial fishermen effects there positions.
Their position on funding to enhance our fisheries through enforcement and rehabilition.
I want to know their position on how they plan on increasing opportunities for sport and commercial fishermen.
Position on dams and the requirements they plan on having imposed to relicense them.
Thats a few of the biggies.

What they think about a buy back program of indian commercial fishing quotas. Just to get the creative juices flowing.
