Well as the starter of this thread, I finally have a chance to get on the Internet and catch up with it. Thanks for all your opinions and replies. My opinion is that recreational people certainly do have a drastic impact on the fish harvest as well as commercials. A lot of recreational fisherman are in the dark when they say that a guy with a rod and reel will never have an impact on the fishery. That’s bullshit. I know a lot of the party boats and for higher boats want looser regulations and want to keep more fish. That’s not always the answer just to keep everyone in business. The only thing I know is in my opinion we can’t keep all these breeders. Recreational and commercial fisheries both have a drastic impact as far as I’m concerned the fishery has gone down every year in the last 10 years 👎👎👎
