Capt Dom,
I am interested, but fuel is just too expensive now to use in order to have a chat even if it is done while fishing. Always had problems accepting an offer. However, if you want to chat, and do not mind wiping off a bow thwart that my pet gull (foghorn) craped on, we could row out for some clams. Do not think I could add to your knowledge base since things were just a whole lot simpler back when I was kid. Was always a marsh rat, and never owned a ride over 19 feet and never even liked a ride that big. There is no doubt in my mind, that after reading your posts, you are the most well educated fisherman, in this form. You must spend hour upon hour reading material from all sources to improved your knowledge base and you are out there seeing and understanding what is happening. Regulations have really gotten out of hand for both the recreational and commercial communities. Regulations are necessary, but what we now have is a mess that has everyone up in arms. I hope that one day you sit on marine fishery's regulatory board, entrusted with power, and clean up some of the laws we now have. If just a few of your suggestions were enacted, we would all be better off now. |
