What attitude?
I am a sportsman and if you had been around this forum a while you would know that I got my azz handed to me in a basket for preaching Swordfish release. I really could care less about the limits because I, even moreso than you, very seldom keep 5 pelagics and even more seldom than that, bottom fish (not my thing).
I call an orange, an orange! If this were truly a conservation measure it would be imposed on everyone using this recreational resource, not just a select few!!!! There is no defense for this reasoning. That is the joke of it all.
Who is calling names (loud mouth hooligans?) and belittling, now? Practice what you preach, Bro. Trying to rationalize and make sense out of this with you is tedious.
BTW...Someone obviously understood in the beginning of this thread because this person PM'ed me asking permission to print my original posts to turn into the ministry?
Care to admit that?
What happened?
I have been to Bimini TOO many times. I've been to Nassau as a pure tourist and also as a stopover on the way to Cat Island. I've been to Chub, Marsh Harbor, and too many to bother listing. I had fun in what used to be Walkers which was left to the crabs after the hurricane with no local assistance.
Because the US investment dollar said, not worth it anymore. I have seen the affluent marinas, resorts and condos grow and I have seen the less fortunate areas as well. The growth of the marinas, resorts and condos in collaberation with the ministry were to entice American dollars also, and they did. However, the less fortunate are still the less fortunate. I have seen more than you really want to think I have. I've probably seen more of your islands than you have.
I have been
down here in Miami and in your islands since 1965... longer than you've been alive!
And so ends this discussion with you.
