The powers that be who decide what are fishery will be, are like our wonderful governor and his 99 year toll hike plan.........
they only hear what they want..........
they are convinced theirs is the only way......
they do not care about the ramifications........
they never answer your question, but side step the issue......................
they are determined to complete their mission no matter who/what gets hurt.............

Capt Bob, you left out...They already have their minds made up as to what will happen.
They will lead you along and make you feel like you have a say in the outcome and then do what they have figured on all along. bngh bngh
