minkmaster (10/17/2009)I really fail to see how you can manage an area as big as the gulf of Mexico as one area. I mean If you stretch it out over land that would be like trying to use management practices you all use in Florida and Alabama in Iowa and Missouri. In the northern Gulf there are tons of Red Snapper and in the southern reaches almost non-existent. I fail to understand how these areas can be governed by the same regulations. What's next a snook quota for Pensacola??? It just doesn't make sense.

It isn't some conspiracy to populate south florida with red snapper. They just went after the fish with the highest catch numbers first. It won't be long and we won't be able to keep anything anymore. All our seafood will be imported chinese catfish and shit pond tilapia. The environmentalists want to end all fishing because they think we have killed off all the fish, even though they have no first hand experience on the water.
I'm getting my 100 ton right now so I can run private yacht's or maybe go to work in the oil industry. Time to focus on pleasure sailing, shipping, and drilling because fishing as an industry is dead.
Since Bush started all this by signing the Magnuson-Stevens act I blame him.
