So Lobsters this summer went North instead of West. $1/lb Dock price lower due to no China Trade. Traps will cost 50% more due to steel going up. No American steel in Traps. New Boats costing more due high steel and aluminum costs.

If lobstermen don’t like the government then pay for your girlfriends health insurance instead of letting her use medicaid.
How bout letting more fishermen have licenses instead of having a commie quota system
You guys are mostly closet commies with your loving government help for health insurance, rehab and light sentences for drug and assault crimes but crying about anyone fishing near your gear or getting a license.
It’s really hard to feel sorry for you and your new pickup trucks, snowmobiles and dropping big bucks at Hollywood Slots.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
