With the restrictions went to Canada last year and Louisiana two years ago. Sport fisherment and commercial need to share the same waters so there needs to be some conservation. Keep the foreign boats out of the Gulf and I will be back when fishing improves. Will not be on the bus to DC but hope it works out for everyone on the Gulf Coast.

After implementing resticted seasons and reduced limits in LA and Texas, these states experienced a significant improvement in the overall sport fishery after only 5 years. In my opinion, Florida will see a dramatic improvement in the overall fisheries by continuing this program of conservation and restricted limits. I know this effects some jobs and the industry in general, but in order for our future generations to experience the same type of sport fishing that we have, it is imperitive for all of us to bite-the bullet and think of the future. Interesting parallels to our existing government of waste and greed don't you think?
