I went fishing for the first time last week just to find out i cant keep any of the fish i caught (not that i caught that many about 2) I was told i can sport fish instead!!.Huh? Sport fish? so im assuming its ok that the fish get hurt and thrown back in the water better than me having them for dinner right? Now Thats absurd!!
The problem is not rebuilding of fish stocks here but a more sinister reason for the discontinuation of anyone allowed to fish.
his had me search the internet if anyone is facing hardships and came across many.Not to get too political here heres my opininion.The fishing rights will got to the governmet and a selective few that way we depend on them completely.Its about Contol.Same with the farmers.Everyone will be in a factory line and only few will profit! Theres enough fish in this world!

Granted the Govt regulations may be onerous but at the same time, if the fish population, regardless of the species, collapses, what do these fisherman think they will catch? A little common sense is needed on their part. Yes, the regulations will cause them to catch less and yes, that will reduce their profit but if there is nothing to catch, ah, there won't be any profit at all. Instead of looking at the short term, wouldn't be wise to think a bit more long term. All the fish species live in a dynamic balance and when that balance is upset, the system suffers. Yes it is resilient and and recover as long as the damage has not progressed too far. Think people, think!
