Ok, I've calmed down a bit. I've thought this through.

They can't do it. Silly idea, more DC BS, but they can't do it. There would be riots, not allowing parents to feed their children, not allowing people to feed themselves. They just couldn't. It would be the end of the government right there.

Nope, not gonna happen, unless they want a revolution right there and then.

S&F for illustrating how moronic our government is. But it will not happen.



Well, it sure wouldn't work where I used to live. People there hunt and fish for their food still. Years ago there was an incident where the game warden took food off someone's table during dinner and word got around. They found him naked and hanging somewhere, still barely alive. They transferred him out of the area for his own safety. You don't mess with people's food around there.

I read the report and I now don't think the OPTF is about taking away anyones fishing rights. I think it is more about protecting the fish we have and the environment they breed in.

Public meetings are being held by the OPTF, attend and express your concerns. I plan to.

Now it looks like this is "much ado about nothing" and transparent fear mongering by a fishing tackle mfg. company. They do make good gear however.

Before you get your knickers in a twist; do a little investigation. Google is our friend.

Far from criticizing, I would thank you for finding the proof that there is a plot to destroy the US fishing industry.
The truth about the decline of commercial fishing in the US is that it's all about economics. It is cheaper to get fish and shrimp somewhere else.

I do question the 60 million number, that's roughly 1 in 5 or 6 people in the US that are fisherman? Does that number people who actively fish or just the number of people who have fished at least once in their lives and never picked up a rod since they were 10?
