I too want to thank Dave and Jeff for attending the "scoping" meeting and putting in their 2 cents for what it bought us. They(FEDS) could have taken it away completely but were convinced otherwise.
How do the commercial guys catch enough tile to earn a living anyway. You hardly ever see it on a menu, is there enough demand somewhere? And how would you go about catching them commercially to begin with? Nets or by longlines?
