The commercial fishermen from Washington were restricted a few years back from taking the inside passage. Many of the boats were to small to go outside Vancouver Island. These people have families, home payments, etc.. This is a good law and I support it. Put yourself in their shoes.
I am not for overharvest by anybody be it commercial or sportfishermen. I don't think that is the issue here so I am in favor of this law.
