Default Re: Do bunker need to be protected?

Completely disagree. Dave asked for I believe it was $5k on this site to fund a lobbyist and couldn't raise close to that amount. $5k!!!!!!!!!!! Whose gone to the Hill representing the recreational fishing community because I'm not aware anyone has. When Trump had his first term, we had the same hope. With everything going on in this world, there's zero chance the incoming Administration on its own will prioritize the rights of recreational fishermen and small businesses involved in the industry. If that's what you're hoping, you're setting yourself up for major disappointment.

The only thing that will change this insanity is a lawsuit on behalf of the recreational sector that requires leadership and funding. In the absence of that, saltwater stocks will become vanishing resources and the recreational anglers proportionate share will continue to decrease over the years until it no longer exists. It's that simple and there's nothing that's going to change it unless as I said the recreational community grows a set of balls and initiates a lawsuit against the federal government.
