The Florida Fish and Game wardens are very visible and very active. They are on the water and don't mess around. In Florida, fishermen must have a license ( not a permit) or risk a fine. Let's hope that what you are seeing in Florida does not spread any farther. We have restrictions and also have plenty of fish ( specifically, fluke). What we don't have is a license. We don't want one or need one. License money means more governmental intervention which means more money to justify more limits and regulations. We have too many factors working against us now especially from those who have decided just how large the fish populations should be. I sometimes think they want enough fish to cover the ocean's bottom and only allow us to harvest a bare minimum of them. Save the ocean! Save the sharks! Save the trees! Save the wildlife!

News Flash! Things die! I'm convinced that there is a growing wave of "saviors" who are trying to meddle too much with the architecture of the natural structure and have , by their efforts and intentions, done more damage than good.
