Default RE: New Snapper Laws!!

I do think it should be a commercial vs rec fisherman issue. When you look at the economic investment per fish of a weekend warrior compared to a commercial guy there is no argument as to how the regs should pan out. Charters fish by the rec rules and are normally the best stewards of their economic resources. Enforcement is key, you can make all the rules you want but unenforced they are useless. When tackle shops and hotels suffer to make more money for big commercial outfits we have lost control of the regulatory process.
