Comments
This bill would take income away from me. This is the most environmentally friendly form of commercial fishing!
Hope this bill get passed.,No reason why commercial fisherman should be exempt from the laws that recreational fisherman have to follow.
Then it wouldn't be commercial fishing would it? The bill is dead.
