Closure of red snapper from NC to Floirda. They are trying to enact a rule to allow fishing on the top of the reefs but not on the bottom.

This was covered at the SSFFF meeting the other day. Florida and Gulf of Mexico fisheries of Red Snapper, Grouper and something else. I surmised that by THEM getting THEIR fisheries close, it helps us as THEY will join with us in our fight to get our Black Sea Bass fishery re-opened.


(not that it's good but even this dark cloud has something of a silver lining)-(glass half full)

That something else was amberjack

This is what they want in a nutshell no doubt about it whatsoever.

As of two days ago, another fishery has been closed to both Rec and Commercial fishermen.
The Red Snapper from the Gulf States all the way to the Carolina's.
It's just a matter of time.....other than a lawsuit being filled, where's the outrage except among ourselves??
No public protest's, No report on 60 minutes or the local news for that matter on how this rouge agency is putting hard working Americans out of Business, WITH THE PRESIDENTS SUPPORT!!!!
Why are we making it so easy? As men, let me ask those who sit idly bye, What happened to your BALLS???
In high school most would have taken on the bully, maybe you got your ass kicked, maybe you didn't, one thing you got by doing it was RESPECT. The bully became your friend, he along with anyone else had respect because you stood up.
We are faced with the biggest bully of our lifetime right now, and yet we let him kick sand in our face!!
We don't fight back and some even think if we do, it will make us look bad!!
You know what looks bad, standing on the unemployment line wondering how did this all come about, why, for what reason?
Is it about the fish for real??? BS. Don't believe that for a minute.
It's about people wielding power over other people because they can.
Jobs that were made up to do nothing more than be justified by Something getting done, whether it puts people out of business or takes away a way of life.
Respect, what respect? Don't let me once hear those cry who have done nothing....you'll hear the respect I have for that. BS! Capt. Ron
