Longtime Town Dock fisherman Bob Guzzo said the federal government is giving away land that fishermen have used to feed people for more than 300 years. “I’d like to pass this on to someone else who wants to go fishing,” he said. >click to read<  18:54

    When was the last time NMFS, NOAA, and the Commerce Dept, did a damn thing for the Harvesters… Back when the 200 mile limit came in effect what did these brain surgeons do??? They over capitalized the FLEET anyone who could back a Bank Note got a new Boat… Doctors, Lawyers, etc. started small corporations… People were still towing small mesh… The Foreign mega trawlers had already pounded the Sh*t out of the bottom… Commerce thought there was an inexhaustable bunch of FISH out there, fools!!! We hadn’t gotten to the moron state yet… Das, catch shares, joke meetings (appeasements)… Now the Clown cars sporting PINWHEELS and high voltage cables!!!
