Grasshopper, nothing is ever as simple as banning
. The bouy gear is the least offensive way to harvest swordfish. Minimal bycatch, and relatively quick release of pups
. Have met and fished w/ a few of the bouy guys in our area. They are respectful of the rec guys, and help w/ the quota, without decimating the stocks. We are experiencing the best swordfishing in my lifetime right now, and the bouys are fishing right along side of us
. So where's the foul?

Thanks,
