What does "no fishing" mean to you?

Hey guys. Admin put in a great section for us to let the government know what we think about a ban on fishing.

I took a look at all the states that have replied...not good.

I think part of the reason we are in this mess is we let other people do the work because we are "too busy".

If you have time take a look at the response from other states.

Can anyone tell me why there are suddenly all these "no fishing" posts? Is it the ESPN article or is there something else?

Thanks.

The ESPN article is not what this is all about. The article had an impact but it is what is happening in California and Florida with MPA's and the bad science behind fisheries closures. Rec fishing may never be taken away. But the great places to fish just might. It has started here in the GOM with a no possession of wolfish starting in May. I bet the enviros are looking at Stellwagen as a no fishing zone.

The following link has a video that should shed some light.

I'v fished in the Gulf of Mexico many times with my dad out of Pensacola.

We get to his hole, drop your line till it hits the bottom then start to reel. Fish on every time, doubled up many times.

I was talking to him today about this before I watched the you tube video. He said the same thing about the dolphin, they follow the boats out because they know its easy pickins.
