Was out on my boat the summer before last.Fishing was pretty slow and we saw a skiff type boat chasing a big school of bunker.THe next thing we see is 2 more bigger boats coming and the skiff starts circling the school of bunker.Now they deploy a net that surrounds the bunker school and the bigger boat starts drawing the net in.After they get the net real close to the side another big boat comes alongside and puts a big vacum inside the net to suck all the bunker into the tanks.Could not believe the amount of bunker they caught with just 1 drop of the net.If they are doing this every day all day its a miracle that there are any bunker left.If you see any of them out there take the time to observe them for awhile.

TRawler by catch sucks but so do we when we catch just as much.

It's simple. The trawler drags his net along the bottom causing a lot of destruction of habitat. Recreational anglers do not. There you go.

Also think of the economic end . How much money is spent Partyboat fishing versus Commercial Fishing . Though they are both important which is better for the Economy . Which creates more jobs ? Which does more damage ?
