Derwd24. Wow, you sure did take what I said out of context....so please throttle back. I too, do not want to see our environment degrade through misuse and abuse. Fishmore nailed how I feel on the head. It's the extremists that are the ones who are pursuing the restriction to fish and enjoy the very nature they are trying to protect. Ya know, I have had the pleasure to be around the tree hugging extremists I am referring to and I’ve noticed a funny thing. Those same people who are trying to restrict our access to public lands, lakes and oceans are the very ones whom are using the areas themselves….for their personal use disguised and doing nature studies.

Anyway, normal, everyday fishermen are not the people who are depleting our fishing resources...it is the fishermen who I mentioned above. So, because of their misuse and negligence, why should we, as private fishermen individuals, pay the price?

Derwd24. I've re-read your post several times to try and understand what it is you've written and I still cannot see why you're attempting to come down on me? We're on the same team.... and agree as to who is ruining it for everyone. Are you for fishing restrictions? I know that I am not.....and I don't think any of our Whaler brethren are for them either. I think a deeper explanation on your part is due to allow me to see your point of view.
