Default Re: Obama now targeting recreational fishing?

This is nothing new, the truth is our oceans are being fished out. Captains on Fishing boats for years have been watching the "catch" shrinking dramatically.

Where there used to tanks full on the return trip now fit in a few coolers.

I'm a fisherman but the question is by not fishing for a few years would that help the fish population return or would it be like the environmental issues. Where the US follows rules and other countries do the opposite and would take advantage of having our fishing fleets pulled back and fish our coasts even harder?

there are a few billion fish lovers in China and they would welcome the oppor"tuna"ty to fish our waters.
