With all due respect, I find that story hard to believe. It is a great tale to bring some sympathy to the Commercial Draggers. As in "poor us, we try to do the right thing but the "man" stuck it to me anyway!"
As for your disagreement that fisheries management has or doesn't have their heads up their collective arses, I guess one may have to define specifically what constitutes a head up an arse. You seem to think that they knowingly and willingly stick it to the Rec anglers and thereby support the Commer. guys. I may not totally agree with that, but as to my original point, I really think they believe the Rec angler harvest #'s. (at least to the point as they need to go with "something") |
