At the risk of being put in "time-out".....I will not get Political.... Guess I can now sell my fishing gear and guns at the same time if this sort of lunacy continues in Washington...
Didn't all your guns fall overboard?
The issue around here anyway is fishery management.
This is not a new issue nor is it in any particular way tied to the current administration. We've had a fight for as long as I can remember on quota differences between commercial and recreational fishers, who gets how many tons of what, size and bag limits and seasonal closures.
It's just more of the same - there are "X" fish and "Y" people who want to eat them, and Y > X. Resolution of this issue is guaranteed to piss of some of "Y" no matter how you do it but crashing the fish population means that many fewer "Y"s get to eat "X" in short order, so there IS a resource management issue that needs to be considered.
I'll leave my personal political feelings out of this so I don't have to ban myself![]()
