Burt,
I am buying my gas at hess and jugging it to my boat for $2.63 a gal. compared to last summer at $4.00 a gall.
i am not speaking on behalf on any group. i am speaking my own thoughts and opionions.
i am not pinpointing a group of fisherman from any specific region, they;ll come from very close and very far to participate in the very special fishery we have here...wouldn't you?? i know i would.
my intent is not to discriminate on any region or keep this area exclusive to residents.
it is to keep the fishing pressure, and the safety of those involved ( on a recreational and commercial basis) to the standard that it is today.
and yes, they'll buy LP's....or whatever it takes to get it done.....
as for worries, WE should all be worried about the fishery first and our interests second.
What is your stance on the general access permit?
if they approve it will you have one?
will your interest big or small take presidence over the fishery?
As far as i'm concerend there is no LITTLE interest here,recreational and commerical fisherman should both be equally concerned. we are talking about a lot of issues rolled up in one, possibly defined by the approval of this general access permit....

If the recreationals have to comply with all the commercial rules like you guys do, there wont be the fleet you think there will be.
IMHO this is being way overblown by former rec guys that are now commercial and are worried about their own little INTERESTS.
